How to change the IP address of the DataHub to match your network and set static IP addresses for devices connected to the DataHub

You can change the IP address and subnet of the DataHub. Before deciding to change the DataHub IP, please check if connecting your other equipment to the DataHub via the Ethernet WAN port would achieve the same effect more simply. When connected to Ethernet WAN, the DataHub receives an assigned DHCP address from your server, e.g. Peplink or Starlink routers.

If you already use the WAN port for another device, such as a GO exec, and require two WAN ports on the DataHub, please install the LAN2WAN2 Profile available the in the DataHub menu under Services > Settings >Profiles. You can read more about How to use Profiles here.

To change the IP address of the DataHub:

  • Log in to the DataHub with the username and password: superadmin

  • Click on Network->Interfaces.

  • Click the blue Edit button on the LAN interface row.

  • Set the desired IPv4 address and click Save.

  • Click Save & Apply.

  • Disconnect from DataHub Wi-Fi and wait 30 seconds before reconnecting. This clears your current IP address and collects a new assignment from the DataHub on the new subnet.

  • Log in to DataHub again using the new address, e.g., 192.168.0.1.

Other Options - set a static IP for devices connected to the DataHub

You can also set a static IP address for devices connected to the DataHub via Wi-Fi or LAN. Devices must be configured in the same subnet as the DataHub, with the DataHub IP set as the DNS Server. You can also do this if you change the static IP address of the DataHub, e.g. 192.168.1.1.

For example, to do this for a printer without changing the DataHub IP address, configure the Printer settings to be on IP address 10.10.10.50, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and DNS of 10.10.10.1. The default IP DHCP allocation address start range is from *.*.*.101 to 251, so any IP address between 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.100 is available to set a static IP address for a connected device.

You can view or change the DataHub Start IP address allocation range when logged into the Datahub as superadmin under Network > Interfaces > LAN (click Edit) > DHCP server > General Setup.
