Wired
LAN
Configurations
Before
all
computers
using
wired
Ethernet
connections
(i.e.
those
computers
that
connect
to
this
router’s
LAN
port
1
to
4
by
Ethernet
cable)
can
communicate
with
each
other
and
access
the
Internet,
they
must
have
a
valid
IP
address.
There
are
two
ways
to
assign
IP
addresses
to
computers:
static
IP
address
(set
the
IP
address
for
every
computer
manually),
and
dynamic
IP
address
(IP
addresses
of
computers
will
be
assigned
by
the
router
automatically.
It’s
recommended
for
most
of
computers
to
obtain
an
IP
address
automatically,
as
it
will
save
a
lot
of
time
on
setting
IP
addresses
for
every
computer.
For
servers
and
network
devices
which
will
provide
services
to
other
computers
and
users
that
come
from
Internet,
a
static
IP
address
should
be
used,
so
other
computers
can
locate
the
server.
