Based on how the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next is con-
nected to the Internet (IPv4 or IPv6), various cur-
rent network information is displayed, such as
Address
,
Subnet mask
,
Standard gateway
and
DNS server
.
4.6.2 IPv4/IPv6 configuration
In the factory default settings, only the
Retrieve
network settings from a DHCP server
option for
IPv4
is enabled. This means that the IPv4 address is
assigned automatically by a DHCP server. The cur-
rently assigned network data are visible (but
grayed out).
If a DHCP server is already present in the network
for assigning IP addresses (e.g. your Internet rout-
er), you should leave the
Retrieve network set-
tings from a DHCP server
option enabled so that
the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next automatically re-
ceives an address from it.
If you want to assign a static IP address, make en-
tries accordingly for the
Address
,
Subnet mask
,
Default gateway
and
DNS server
fields.
