    Default Google Home Mini and static ip issue

    Just I bought my Google Home Mini I find out that you can't configure ip address on device.
    I don't know how can I do that the device can work in my Lan with dhcp disabled and static ip addresses.
    My router is TpLink W8980.
    Thanks in advance for your replies..

    You could enable DHCP for a small range, and allocate IP’s on the router via MAC.

    Set up DHCP for a small range of IP’s outside of that set up for your static IP’s, then use the security/access control settings in the router to allocate the MAC address of each of the Mini’s to individual IP addresses within the DHCP range.

    Essentially your router will be allocating the same IP to each Mini, instead of each Mini having its own IP set individually on the device.

    Wait...I need to go for steps..
    My DHCP is disabled and there are three options (enabled and DHCP relay).
    As DHCP disabled in address reservation section I put a free ip, Google Mini's mac, Group=Default and that is enabled but it doesn't work...
    Sure I did some mistake...

    I remind that I used DHCP disabled on router.

    I wonder if I change DHCP to enable and I reserve only some IPs for DHCP server can my Lan network still working fine?

    Edit: ok. Right. All work fine last solution. Thanks everyone!
