Question about Philips Hue Bridge

Dear Community I am trying to connect a Philips Hue Bridge via the Ethernet interface to the Netgear Nighthawk M5, which is also a hub and DHCP server. Everything is working properly, but the bridge is not recognised by the Netgear or is probably not assigned an IP address by the DHCP server. Does anyone know if and how the bridge can be assigned a fixed IP address? Thanks for an answer.

You can switch off DHCP for the bridge in the Phillips Hue app under Network settings. Maybe then it will work.

Thank you very much, Berkanipek, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'll try it out in the next few days and let you know if it works! 👏

I have now bought a TP-Link as a hub for my Philips Hue Smart Bridge (28 francs), as it could not be connected to the Netgear Nighthawk M5 via the Ethernet port - now it works perfectly.
