Solution

  • So you can do it by reserving an IP to your specific device. Find the "DHCP Reservation" setting from your router's control panel. This could also be "DHCP Static Lease" or etc.

    You will be able to provide requested IP address to your device so you need to declare your device's "MAC address" also.

    You can get your esp8266 MAC address like below :

    String clientMac = "";
unsigned char mac[6];
WiFi.macAddress(mac);
