How to assign the location of a device automatically through the IP?

That functionality is not available. You may want to suggest a feature request here to be considered for a future release.
the only work round to this is creating a smart label with IP Address begins with x.x. or IP address contains = and then when agents are deployed or a machine moves between IP address space it will pick up and drop off the location smart label, when i say location Smart label i just name them something like Location - - Site A, Location - - Site B etc. works well for replication share association as well for local file share access.

You could actually create a ticket rule to assign the location based on IP address. If you take the suggestion above to create smart labels, you can then use the SQL from the Smart label in a ticket rule, you will just need to know the location Asset ID to then assign when the rule is run. Simple!!

I did the same myself for a bit, but then just found it easier to use the smart label and skip filling in Location with the same info. This worked out for me because most of my reasons for knowing the location was for deploying patches and software from the right replication server and routing a ticket to the onsite resources. - JordanNolan 2 years ago
To access Network & Internet, select Start > Settings > Network & Internet.
You can manage Wi-Fi networks by selecting Wi-Fi > Manage known networks.
In IP assignment, select Edit.
You can either edit IP settings automatically (DHCP) or manually under Edit IP settings.
Select Save when you're done.
