Manual IP and adapter options
Open Menu → Setup → Network → Network Overview, select the adapter and press OK. A DHCP reservation on the router often provides all the stability needed: the receiver keeps DHCP enabled while the router always assigns it the same address.
Enter a fixed IPv4 address
Section titled “Enter a fixed IPv4 address”This example applies only to a 192.168.1.0/24 home network with router 192.168.1.1. It is not a universal configuration.
| Field | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | Yes | Use the adapter at startup |
| IP protocol | IPv4 only | Matches this example; dual stack supports IPv4 and IPv6 |
| Use DHCP | No | Reveals manual IPv4 fields |
| IP address | 192.168.1.50 | An unused address reserved for the receiver in your subnet |
| Subnet mask | 255.255.255.0 | Equivalent to /24 |
| Default gateway | 192.168.1.1 | Router towards other networks/the Internet |
| DNS override | Yes | Adapter-specific DNS configuration |
| Primary DNS IPv4 | 192.168.1.1 | Router acting as resolver |
| Secondary DNS | unused | Optional, not a second mandatory address |
- Determine the router address, subnet mask and DHCP pool.
- Choose a conflict-free address outside the freely allocated DHCP pool, or explicitly reserve it at the router. Do not use the router, network or broadcast address.
- Fill in the fields and choose Green/Save. Connectivity may briefly drop.
- Check the new IP on the TV, reconnect browser/SSH to it and run the network test.
An address such as 192.168.0.50 does not fit this 192.168.1.0/24 example unchanged. Duplicate IP addresses can produce intermittent and confusing failures.
Other adapter options
Section titled “Other adapter options”| Option | When does it matter? |
|---|---|
| IP protocol | IPv4 only, IPv6 only or both. The DHCP switch and displayed manual address fields concern IPv4; IPv6 has different automatic configuration mechanisms. |
| Network metric | With multiple adapters, the lower metric influences the preferred default route. Do not give a second connection the same static IP. |
| DNS override | Uses adapter DNS instead of global settings. IPv4/IPv6 fields follow the protocol choice. Global DNS changes may consequently not affect this adapter. |
| Link speed | Normally leave Auto/negotiation enabled. Forcing speed or duplex can degrade or disconnect the link. |
| Wake-on-LAN | Supported hardware only: wake using a Magic Packet. It neither replaces a recording timer nor guarantees wakeup from every power state. |
| Wake-on-WiFi / WoW only | Supported wireless drivers only. WoW only reserves the adapter for waking instead of a normal connection. |
The complete adapter reference includes all conditional fields. The screenshots changed form values only, not the receiver’s active connection.
