Static IP option finally arrives in a new update for a few Lumia phones

A new firmware update for the Lumia 625, Lumia 925 and Lumia 525 started to scroll out just over a week ago for a few users and with it came a minor, but useful feature: static IP. The ability to gear up ane'south particular internet gateway and IP details is something nuanced, but essential for some users on various networks. Windows Phone'south ability to support static IPs is every bit far as nosotros know dependent upon the telephone manufacturer as the OS itself does non accept this baked in.

The firmware itself is slight, coming in at only 18 MB. It bumps the revision number from 1425.0002 to 1425.0003 on about devices, bringing the new static IP option, network+ option and some bug fixes, according to reader of the site Vinod K.

So far, it seems only phones with the Lumia Cyan update and Windows Phone 8.1 are getting this new firmware, and it is limited to select Lumia 525s, Lumia 625s, and Lumia 925s including those in India with carrier Aircel. Last calendar week, we had numerous tips from users about such a firmware update, merely in lacking specifics i.e. what changed, at that place was just non much to report on until recently.

Presumably, other Lumias may get this update too, although it is not articulate if the new features extend to the full range of Lumias or is just limited to those in emerging markets.

Is the ability to set a static IP a characteristic you lot would utilise on a Windows Telephone?

Thanks, shubham, Mohammad D. and Tanay Due south., for the tips!
