Changes to the network settings are made in the
LAN area.

4.6.1Status

You can see the current LAN status of the
devolo Magic adapters here. The Ethernet area
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next
shows the network devices connected to the two
network ports Port 1 and Port 2 (e.g. PC, NAS, etc.).
IPv4/IPv6
Based on how the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next is con-
nected to the Internet (IPv4 or IPv6), various cur-
rent network information is displayed, such as
Address, Subnet mask, Standard gateway and
DNS server.

4.6.2 IPv4/IPv6 configuration

In the factory default settings, only the Retrieve
network settings from a DHCP server option for
IPv4 is enabled. This means that the IPv4 address is
assigned automatically by a DHCP server. The cur-
rently assigned network data are visible (but
grayed out).
If a DHCP server is already present in the network
for assigning IP addresses (e.g. your Internet rout-
er), you should leave the Retrieve network set-
tings from a DHCP server option enabled so that
the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next automatically re-
ceives an address from it.
If you want to assign a static IP address, make en-
tries accordingly for the Address, Subnet mask,
Default gateway and DNS server fields.
