To transfer files to my kindle when I'm not at home, what I do is first start a WiFi hotspot on my Android phone. Then connect the Kindle to the corresponding WiFi. This way the Kindle and the Android are on the same local network. I can now ssh into the kindle.

The problem is assigned network changes every time. And now I can't have a convenient stfp bookmark in my file manager app to transfer files. I have to look up the IP address in the kindle and then change the bookmark accordingly.
Example of assigned IP: 10.171.131.210 or 10.69.217.210

How would I go about assigning static LAN IP address to my kindle when connecting?
