If DHCP is enabled on all of the computers on your home network (LAN), you should not need to change any of
the default LAN settings. For information about enabling DHCP, see “Configuring TCP/IP” on page 52.
Unless you have sufficient networking knowledge, we recommend not changing any LAN settings.
