How to assign a static IP address
I can't find a way to assign a static IP address to a connected device via the Xfinity app. I used to do this by logging onto my XB-7 modem directly via a web browser. But entering http://10.0.0.1 reroutes to myrouter.io which gives me nothing but an error message: The page's address isn't valid.
Really, Xfinity? [Edited: "Language"]?

Rebooting the router got access to 10.0.0.1 back, so that question is answered.
I'd still like to know if there's a way to assign a static IP address via the Xfinity app. Supposedly the app is supposed to be able to do "everything," but I don't see a way to do that.

A actual ‘Static’ ip is set on the client device, not the router, however a Reserved ip is configured on the router, 2 different things….

That refers to public IPs. The OP is asking about IPs for the devices on their local network. These private device IPs can indeed be static or reserved.

@BruceW I also noticed a setting under lease time, you can set the length of the lease, but one option is ‘forever’ which is a global setting, but it might be easier for some…

Yes, I meant "Reserved IP" for devices on my local network. My bad.
Regardless, I don't see any way to do this in the Xfinity app. As I noted above, rebooting the router got 10.0.0.1 back, so I was able to change what I needed to change.
If I'm supposed to use the app vs the router address, then the functions available via the router address needed to be added to the app. Period.
