In the last 2 weeks, my Lighthouse IP address changes every couple of days when connected to a router. That would be caused by the Lighthouse shutting down and coming back with a new IP address.
Can I set the Lighthouse’s IP address at a fixed number? Ken
Just in case you don’t know what these are (or if someone else bumps into this thread that doesn’t)… The dns and gateway are your router’s IP. The address field is your desired address. And netmaks is usually 255.255.255.0 (unless you know that it’s not, in which case you don’t need my explanation about what it should be).
hello, I tried to change
there /mnt/persist/config.xml
ip is always assigned by dhcp.
has anything changed with version
Librarian v3.1 / 3.1 Lighthouse?
Oh, sorry, it’s a lighthouse… hm, that’ll be a bit tricky.
Since you configured it to use static IP, you could try connecting it directly to a computer, and assign the computer an address such as 10.49.1.11. Hopefully that will allow you to SSH back into it. Then you remove /mnt/persist/etc/network/interfaces file and reboot.
solved:
Download the boot.img file from the download link above.
Download the stable image from archive.outernet.is7.
Copy the both the .img file and .pkg file to an SD card, and rename the .pkg file to outernet-rx.pkg.
Power down Lightouse
Insert the SD card
Power up Lighthouse
When LEDs stop blinking, remove SD card
Power-cycle Lighthouse
