Automatic Redirection When IP Changes to Fixed

[lucasdellasantina]

Description:

By default, the device is configured to obtain its IP via DHCP. However, when DHCP is disabled and a fixed IP is assigned to the device, a restart is required. After the restart, it is observed that the browser continues to attempt to connect to the previously DHCP-assigned IP instead of automatically redirecting to the newly configured fixed IP.

Proposed Solution:

Implement an automatic redirection so that after restarting the device, the browser searches for the device's page at the newly assigned fixed IP.

This will improve the user experience by eliminating the need to manually find or remember the new IP.

you mean, when a static IP is set, redirect to the static IP after x seconds?

Exactly, the idea is not to lose the device after the change

this can cause redirect loops, better to let the user change the URL manually.

note: openwrt also doesn't switch automatically when router IP is modified.
