Raspberry Pi Static IP

If you are needing a static IP for your raspberrypi, follow these steps to do so.

Assuming the Robo wifi hasn't changed from now (March 2022), you can skip the first two steps

1. enter cat /etc/resolv.conf and note the two "nameserver" numbers as shown with red arrows in the first image.

2. enter route -ne and note the first number under "Gateway" as shown with the yellow arrow in the first image.

3. enter nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

4. Scroll to the bottom of the file and enter the following (as shown in the second image):

interface wlan0

static ip_address=192.168.20.10 (NOTE: This is a fill-in number. The digits after 192.168.20. can be any number from 1-255)

static routers=192.168.21.254

static domain_name_servers=192.168.13.1 192.168.13.2 2001:558:feed::1 2001:558:feed::2

If your nameserver and gateway numbers are different than the ones shown by the red and yellow arrows, replace the numbers circled in red with the "nameserver" numbers found in step 1 and replace the number pointed out by a yellow arrow with the "Gateway" number found in step 2.
