Ethernet configuration page
The Ethernet configuration page provides IP address details and configuration settings for the router’s wired network connections.
IP configuration is for advanced users and should not be changed, unless for a specific reason. Disabling automatic configuration will affect compatibility with Raymarine MFDs.
The Configure IP options are:
DHCPAutomatically (DHCP on) — This is the recommended setting which allows IP addresses to be automatically assigned to connected devices by the router using IP addresses within the range specified in the DHCP server.
Manually (DHCP on) — This setting allows you to manually configure the router’s LAN IP address, subnet mask and default gateway and allows connecting devices to be automatically assigned an IP address within the range you specify in the DHCP server.
Manually (DHCP off) — This settings allows you to manually configure the router’s LAN IP Address, subnet mask and default gateway but does not assign IP addresses to connected devices.
With DHCP switched off each wired device will have to be manually assigned an IP address in the same range as your router’s IP address.
