Tasker task to configure IP, subnet, etc... per WLAN

[GregTard]

Does anyone know if there is a way to create a task using Tasker to set network info when connected to specific WLANs. I can't find anything referencing setting an IP address, gateway, etc... in Tasker.

There's nothing in Tasker that will do this, but you might want to look at Wifi Static - Android app on AppBrain

DHCP doesn't do this for you?

Wifi static works great for me.

I have a belkin N router; and DHCP doesn't work w/ android 2.2 ... many people have reported the same. A static ip w/ wifi static works great!

I was using Wifi Static but figured I would ask if Tasker could. I am still amazed that this is not built into Android with multiple long threads in the Google Android dev forums bitching about it for the past 2 years.

I guess Wifi Static is the only way. I saw it on the Android dev forums. The dev got tired of complaining that it wasn't built in so he created his own.

A lot of people use static IP addresses for security and control.

Anything new on this?

Using static at home is fine, but as I move around to other places to use WiFi, having it static all the time will be quite a pain.
