Enable setup of
fixed-IPv4 address, Gateway, Router, DNS, NTP, Netmask.
Default to DHCP, detailed setup as "specialist feature" in e.g. sub-menu

Hi @benderl @LKuemmel, is this enhancment a valid development goal? If it is, i can help.

I am of the same opinion and agree with Axel.
The network settings (IP, mask, GW, DNS, NTP) must be manually customizable.
Currently not even all settings are taken over by DHCP. Some settings are fixed (e.g. NTP). This should not be the case under any circumstances.

NTP ist no problem. DHCP option 042 fpr NTP/SNTP Servers
The Main Reason in my optinion is, that mos use the DHCP integrated in the router.

If that Router Fail i.e. after Power Outage, OpenWB won't get an IP and can't communicate to other devices such as slave openWB, Inverter and so on. So you cannot charge your car on your slaves until you got a new DHCP running.

For myself I prefer DHCP, because if you change the subnet or reorganize it, you can do this on one point. It prevents misconfiguration on the box itself, but in some reasons it could be helpfull so it should at least be possible to configure it manually.
