2-6 Wired LAN Configurations
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connections (i.e., those
computers connect to this router's LAN ports 1 to 4 by Ethernet
cable) can communicate with each other and access the Internet,
they each must have a valid IP address.
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP
address (set the IP address for every computer manually) and
dynamic IP address (IP addresses of computers will be assigned
by the router automatically). It's recommended that most of the
computers use a dynamic IP address, as it will save a lot of time
instead of setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when
there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and
network devices that will provide services to other computers and
users that come from the Internet, a static IP address should be
used so other computers can locate the server.
