What is a static IP? Do you need to set one up to use your Mvix device? The Mvix device has a built-in WiFi adapter, which allows you to connect to any type of network. While Mvix, by default, is configured to DHCP, many users need to assign a static IP for security purposes.
What You’ll Need:
- Internet Connectivity
