Most routers/DHCP servers allow you to reserve or hard code a specific IP address for any device on your network via DHCP - and most use the device's MAC address to do it - i.e. you just leave the iGate set to DHCP and the router will do the rest - your iGate will then always have the same IP address.

this is "almost always" correct

but some wifi networks add the "security" to block DHCP , specially the enterprises networks... so I will try to test and add a solution for this if I find a way

I did that on Ethernet already, by using network manager branch. So port it to wifi could be easily.
