Re: Static IP vs DHCP
This is one area that I have a strong opinion on.
If reliability is one of your team's goals for the season, then why take a risk on mDNS?
Yes, usually mDNS works just fine. But, I did say usually.
Why not just lock down your IPs to KNOWN values and move on.
They won't change, you know where each device is addressed, and connections on the field will JUST WORK! What more could you ask for?
Well, OK, you could ask for an easy to find guide to setting your IP's statically. Fortunately, this thread already has what you really need to know.
