I have three nodes and they are all static. I used the on screen menus and had no issues. My nodes are all Ethernet not wifi.
Make sure if you select a static address that you select a compatible gateway
IE 192.168.1.250 then your gateway might be 192.168.1.1 and it has worked for me…
Are you using WIFI or Ethernet yourself? Have you tried to reboot after to see if it takes effect after? What does the onscreen IPaddress show after the reboot.?
