Select the method of assigning the device’s unique IP address:
• DHCP Client (default) causes the My Cloud device to obtain an
IP address and associated settings automatically from the local
DHCP server.
• Static IP lets you set an IP address manually. You will be
prompted for IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS Server.
(If you don’t know this information, check your router’s settings.)
For details on changing the network mode, see “

Mode from DHCP to Static:
