Learn how to add a printer to a Static IP address.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

• Reserve a Static IP address
• Add the Printer to Your Computer
• Test Your Printer

Most wireless printers use the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band, which has better range than 5 GHz—so if your printer doesn’t appear, check your Wi-Fi band settings. If you need in-depth guidance for your specific printer model, consult the printer manufacturer’s support documentation or online setup wizard.

Reserve a Static IP

1. From your device’s web browser, go to https://192.168.1.254. Enter your device access code, then click Continue.

Note: Ensure that your device is connected to your AT&T BGW830's Wi-Fi network. For more information, please see the Connect Devices to Wi-Fi or Connect PC or Mac to Wi-Fi tutorials. Use the Device Access Code located on the back of the device.
