I have two different Amazon FTV (Stick and regular box 4k) both run 16.1 kodi. The issue I'm having here is that the 4k version it has a different IP address 192.168.49.1. on either Wired or Wireless connection. I've even tried using static connection configuration but that didn't make any difference.

On the other hand, FTV stick doesn't have the issue of getting a different IP address.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I may fix this issue? Thanks.

That's normal. Your router sees two Network Interface Controllers (NICs), the ethernet and wireless, so it assigns a different IP address to either. Kodi reports the active NICs IP address. The IP address that the internet sees is the one assigned to your router by your ISP, your router assigns local IP addresses to devices on the LAN.

My main router DHCP server range from 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.200, and so from my PC connected to the DHCP pool, when I try pinging this IP address 192.168.49.1 the results is "Request time out" which is most likely to be fail.

The question staying on my mind is why the 4k AFTV is getting this IP address (192.168.49.10) from where?

Like I said, my other AFTV stick is working fine I can see it from the DHCP address pool.

looks here maybe an issue with KODI and the 4k amazon hardware.
