No other setup that I'm aware of. Just plug in wired RJ45 Ethernet with active DHCP and an IP address appears on the K4 menu. Tap Fn|UPDATE and you're in dialog to download the latest or a prior release. Easy peasy.
If you don't have easy access to wired Ethernet, use a so-called Ethernet Extender with an RJ45 jack and use your in-home WiFi signal. /Rick N6XI /Rick N6XI On Mon, Apr 25, 2022 at 11:47 AM Fred Jensen <k6dg...@gmail.com> wrote: > That is only true if DHCP is enabled in the router [it almost always is > in home situations], AND the device you're connecting is configured to > negotiate with DHCP for an IP address lease.
