3.1.2 DEVICE IP SETTINGS

If you choose to assign the IP address manually, enable the checkbox of
"Assign static IP to this device" and then fill in the following fields

can no longer be accessed (seen) from the Internet.
Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of your default gateway.

requires you to manually enter the DNS Server addresses, you should enter
them here.
