For some reason, I cannot set a static IP for a WiFi network. I go into the static option, enter all the details and as soon as I exit, it automatically switches back to DHCP. It works fine on the iPad but won't work on the iPhone. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm on 9.1.

On the off-chance you didn't do this...did you try to forget your wifi network first? If you did, is it possible something is preventing the ip from connecting and that is the behavior you are seeing?

I should have tried that first. Forgetting the network and reconnecting resolved the problem. Thanks!
