&emsp;&#10148; <b>IP Address:</b> Enter the IP address of your system in dotted-decimal notation (factory default:).

&emsp;&#10148; <b>Subnet Mask:</b> An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally <code>255.255.255.0</code> is used as the subnet mask.

&emsp;&#10148; <b>DHCP Server:</b> Enable or Disable the server. If you chose Smart IP type, the selection will be disabled. If you disable the Server, you must have<br>&emsp;&emsp; another DHCP server within your network or else you must configure the IP address of the computer manually.</div>

<div style="border: 1px solid #8a6d3b; background-color: #fcf8e3; color: #8a6d3b; padding: 5px 10px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: justify"><b>Note: </b>If you change the IP address, you must use the new IP address to login the system.</div>

&emsp;&emsp;&#10148; <b>Variant 1:</b> If you use Smart '''IP (DHCP)''' as type, the nano router gets an IP address from the main router.

<div><ul> 
<li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Quick-Setup-Client-DHCP.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Quick-Setup-Client-DHCP]] </li>
</ul></div>

&emsp;&emsp;&#10148; <b>Variant 2:</b> Assign your nano router a '''fixed IP address.'''

</ul></div>

&emsp;&emsp;&#10148; Select '''Static IP''' as the type

&emsp;&emsp;&#10148; '''Change the IP address''' of the nano router to match the subnet of your main router ('''example:''' Your main router has the IP address <code>192.168.2.1</code>.<br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; In this case, you can give your nano router the IP address <code>192.168.2.254</code>)

&emsp;&emsp;&#10148; '''Disable''' the '''DHCP server''' (select '''"Disable"'''), then click '''Next'''.

&emsp;<b>7.</b> Check the nano router settings, then click '''Reboot'''.
