If you can't ping it, see no arp on your local network, or "no route to host", it's not there on that ip any more.  Doesn't mean it didn't get another ip address different as recommended above to static your dhcp, but it's not on that IP any longer.

I like to do "nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24" or whatever your subnet is there, and see what comes back for what lives there, if name resolution is present, or mdns capable, you should see names.  It probably just got a new lease.

One reply said, "Can you ping it?"

Yes, I can, ping the device ip address. Also did these 2 commands:
d: arp -an
? (192.168.0.19) at c4:1c:ff:30:c5:9c [ether] on wlan0
? (192.168.0.7) at 10:0b:a9:9a:99:a8 [ether] on wlan0
? (192.168.0.1) at 52:b9:e5:c9:b9:cc [ether] on wlan0
d: ip neighbor
192.168.0.19 dev wlan0 lladdr c4:1c:ff:30:c5:9c REACHABLE
192.168.0.7 dev wlan0 lladdr 10:0b:a9:9a:99:a8 STALE
192.168.0.1 dev wlan0 lladdr 52:b9:e5:c9:b9:cc DELAY

But I don't know what to do with the results.

Another reply suggested:

But I don't know how to set my router so that it will
always give out 192.168.0.4 to that MAC.
