I don’t know if this is the right place, I don’t even know if this will post but I had a Jellyfin server setup with a router and static IPs however with my ISP supplied router I have to use my router as an AP or I’m double natted, no IPV6, the dumb thing is that I can’t set IPs static on ISP router. There’s got to be a way around this but I can’t seem to figure it out.

    Because if it’s just local, you can configure the static IP directly on the server/VM/whatever and bypass the router’s DHCP entirely. Just make sure to assign it an IP that’s outside of the range the router will assign and you’ll be golden.

    I had no idea I could do that but totally makes sense, thanks!

      Sometimes this messes with clients looking for a local server if you assign the server an IP outside the subnet of the client. If your DHCP scope is the entire subnet, you can keep the server IP static by setting a reservation on the router DHCP scope. It’s usually just a checkbox and accomplishes the same thing as the static IP, and might be easier to wrap your head around.
