Help How to set a static address on Nexus 7?

[HappyJoe]

I am attempting to do this to reduce instances of the 'Obtaining IP address...' problem.

All the posts that I have found don't refer to the Nexus 7. The closest possibility, the route from Settings to WiFi to 'Advanced' showed no static/DHCP options.

My 7 is not yet rooted, but surely this isn't needed is it?

So there it is!!! Many thanks, Teknologic! You're so much clearer than all the rest!
