In the network configuration on OpenPli 9 image, I always deactivated DHCP to manually put the IP address I wanted.
It has always worked since .... Vu Duo2 > Vu Solo2 > Vu Uno 4K > Vu Duo 4k > Vu Duo 4K SE except that for a few days the DHCP has reactivated itself and given me another IP address, still the same fortunately.
If anyone can tell me what's going on and what I should do, I thank them in advance.

Nothing happens "by itself". So you must have done something that changed the /etc/network/interfaces file which holds the configuration.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Restored a backup? Reinstalled network packages? Installed some network or VPN plugin that f'd things up?
For DHCP, the config should be
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp udhcpc_opts -T1 -t9
For a fixed address:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.1.1.125
netmask 255.0.0.0
gateway 10.1.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
You can also check the file timestamp., to see when it was last changed.

So static IP on the wired interface, DHCP on the wlan interface.
But I see no DNS entries, so your box won't be able to connect to the outside world without it being defined.

I resolved by leaving DHCP enabled on the Vu+.
I can connect normally from my Mac via OpenWebif, Oscam and my FTP client.
Thanks but I don't want to bother with this anymore.

Hi,
It seems your device is reverting to DHCP. Try these steps:
- Make sure to save settings after turning off DHCP and setting your manual IP.
- Check your router settings to ensure it’s not enforcing DHCP.
- Update your OpenPli image to the latest version.

you can set the router to assign given IP addresses to the devices
