    Hello,

    I'm in the process of updating my system moving away from my desktop Jellyfin server to using my laptop as the server, my laptop hasn't got a ethernet socket so I will eventually need to get a usb to ethernet, but for now I was going to set it up with WiFi when I eventually get the usb to ethernet will I encounter any problems as I'm guessing it will be assigned a different IP address.

    You connct the laptop to the Wi-Fi SSID. As you know, data and bandwidth may be more limited.

    What Wi-Fi card is in your laptop and what Wi-Fi router do you have?

    Sorry that wasn't what I was asking,When I eventually go wired will this cause connection problems on the server side as originally it would of been set up with a WiFi connection,I was thinking Jellyfin would of assigned a WiFi IP address.

    Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to ask?

    You must log in to your router, assign a local IP to the computer.
    When you get the USB to ethernet adapter, you edit the mac address from the Wi-Fi card to the USB to ethernet adapter, and maby, you will need to restart the router.

    Or set a static IP on the laptop OS.  

    My ISP router doesn't have a proper settings for static to devices, i need to set the static IP on   each device instead

    Thanks @34626 Glad you understood what I was asking.

    @Generator My router doesn't have a proper static IP setting, but it does automatically enable the option to use the same IP address.
