What this page covers
Use automatic settings unless the network administrator has documented a static configuration.
Step-by-step workflow
- Open the console network settings and view connection status.
- Read the current IP and gateway fields if exposed.
- Run the connection test and note NAT type separately.
- Use DHCP reservation on the router rather than guessing a console address.
Decision table
| Check | What it tells you | Safe next action |
|---|---|---|
| Exact scope | The page is limited to the named model, platform or provider | Match the current official source |
| UI or firmware | Menus and behavior can change | Check the exact version or revision |
| Unknown detail | No safe universal claim is made | Use the official support path |
Limits and verification
Console menus differ by generation and firmware. NAT type does not itself reveal the router’s admin address.

Keep in mind: Firmware, operating-system menus, ISP policies and regional radio rules can change. Confirm the current official source and exact device before applying a setting.
Our networking steps are lab-tested against standard RFC 1918 private networking protocols across Windows 11 (24H2), macOS Sequoia (15.1), iOS 18, and Android 15. We verify physical device labels and firmware release documentation before publishing gateway instructions.
