Can I Manually Set the IP Address on My Device?

The design or settings of the router determine the steps to setup the IP address and proxy server settings on your device. If the router has not automatically assigned an IP address to the device, you may be able to set the IP address manually.

Set the IP address on your device

To manually set the IP address, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the following IP information from your computer.
   • IP address or IPv4 address
   • Subnet Mask
   • Default Gateway
     Note: If you're already connected to the internet, the IP information can also be obtained from the network connection status of the device.

2. Enter the IP information on the network settings.

   The network settings of your device varies on the model being used. Check the manual for model-specific information.
