HomePod Mini Static IP Address - is it possible to configure one?

Hi there,

For reasons that are a bit too complicated to go into, my home network needs every device to have a static IP address to go through our internet connection.

Everything else is configured, but I can't find a setting at all in my new HomePod Mini. It seems to just use DHCP.

Is there a way to expose the configuration for the network on the HomePod Mini?

Googling around leads me to believe the answer is "no", but maybe someone here has a way.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ryanstenhouse,

It sounds like you want to know if you can configure your HomePod Mini with a static IP. There isn't any way to set this up. We understand how important this is to you and you can leave feedback about this on the Apple Product Feedback page.

Farewell!

Given you cannot configure HomePod mini with a static address is it possible that you could add a DHCP service to a computer on your network such that it could supply the settings you need to the HomePod? What version of what operating system do you use?
