Enter the IP address (mostly 192.168.1.xxx), gateway address (mostly 192.168.1.1), subnet
mask or network mask (255.255.255.0), and domain name (DNS address).

Internet through Wi-Fi, your phone must wait for the wireless router to assign it a dynamic IP
address, which takes time. By specifying a static IP address for your phone, this issue is
solved.
