| − | <big>The '''Networking''' settings allow you to switch between '''DHCP''' (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for automatic setting of your hub IP address, or '''Static IP''' where you can define the IP address for your hub when connected by Ethernet cable. You can also add a compatible WiFi dongle to allow your hub to join a WiFi network without the need to attach an Ethernet cable.</big> | + | <big> |

| − | #<big>Enter the desired non-routable IP address for your hub to use. The first three octets must match the other devices on your network, but the fourth octet can be any available number on your network. Use the '''Command shell''' tool on Windows (Type '''cmd''' into Windows search), or the '''Terminal''' app on MacOS (Located in the ''Applications'' > ''Utilities'' folder) to ping the IP address you wish to use, ensuring that there is no response from another device on your network before setting your hub to that IP address.</big>[[File:Static IP address entry.jpg|none|thumb|614x614px]]
