Hi,  
I want to connect to a router that has a static IP assigned. I have used the mjpeg\_streamer.py example, which works when connected to a DHCP server. I have been reading the documentation and I have changed some line of the code but I cannot make it work.  
Thanks  
Best regards.

```python
# Init wlan module and connect to network
print("Trying to connect... (may take a while)...")
wlan = network.WINC()
wlan.ifconfig(('2.1.1.20','255.0.0.0','2.1.1.10','0.0.0.0'))
wlan.connect(SSID, key=KEY, security=wlan.WPA_PSK)

```

Seems our ifconfig doesn’t support static IPs. I’ll add support for this in the next release. It would be helpful if you can open an issue on github [Issues · openmv/openmv · GitHub](https://github.com/openmv/openmv/issues)

Hi, ifconfig now supports static IPs. To set a static IP you should call ifconfig((ip, subnet, gateway, dns)) _before_ calling connect(). This will be available in the next release, alternatively you can download the development firmware images from github: [https://github.com/openmv/openmv/tree/master/firmware](https://github.com/openmv/openmv/tree/master/firmware)
