  • There are a couple of ways of handling this (on PC's in general. I do use Linux, but not Arch, and this will work)
  • The first way is to statically assign an IP address. While you SHOULD be able to assign a static IP address in the DHCP range, it is better to assign it outside the range (the range is configured in the DHCP server - in this case your OpenWRT router). To statically assign an IP address you need to specify the IP address, the Netmask, the Gateway and the nameservers.
  • Here is a link on how to do this in Archhttps://ostechnix.com/configure-static-dynamic-ip-address-arch-linux/
  • I would argue the better way is to dynamically assign a static IP address. This is not strictly speaking what you asked, but is very relevant. The idea here is to map the MAC address of the Arch Linux LAN Interface to an IP, and have the DHCP server assign it dynamically. The nice thing here is you don't need to make any changes to your Arch Box, and if you shift to another network nothing needs to change to get connectivity.
  • https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/dhcp_configuration outlines how to do this on OpenWRT.
  • You can find your Arch Boxes IP address with a command like
  • sudo ip addr show
  • The MAC address is the bit after the words link/ether for the appropriate device.
