    I think that settings will be:

     

    system settings/wireless & network/tap on ethernet label (not the switch)

     

    i don't know if you can modify tapping over the informations on the right side.

    TY IronFly. Do you own one of these?

     

    I've done that and on the right side I have:    Mac address and IP address(disabled).

     

    When I switch Ethernet to "ON" the  IP address changes from (diabled) to (disconnected) Maybe that will change when I connect the cat5 from my reciever.

     

    Also when I turn on the Wi-Fi: At the top rt corner there is also: scan, add network and Advanced.

    scan - Shows the correct IP address but it's "Not in range"

    Add Network - opens up another chain of sub-windows that confuses me

    Advanced - just get gives a Mac address & Notify me when an open network becomes available.

     

    Still in: Settings / Wireless & Networks / more    I get: VPN,  tethering/portable hotspot and Wakeup on LAN

     

    With my desktop PC's I input the info under the connections tab - LAN settings

     

    I'll let you know if I get it working or not. I'll give you a Kudos for the fast reply,OK?

    If any of the above helps you pointing me in the correct direction let me know.

    No, i don't own this model but i managed a lot android.

    Yes it's correct, you need to connect the Lan cable to have IP assigned or perhaps able to manually assign.

    I don't know exactly where you can set manually your settings but i would try, doing a long tap on the IP or look at the top right corner and see if something is available

     

    Also when I turn on the Wi-Fi: At the top rt corner there is also: scan, add network and Advanced.

    scan - Shows the correct IP address but it's "Not in range"

    Add Network - opens up another chain of sub-windows that confuses me

    Advanced - just get gives a Mac address & Notify me when an open network becomes available.

     

    When you enable WiFi, you will be notified if a network is available.

    do a long tap on that network, you will have a popup with "modify network", tap it

    on the next popup, scroll down and tick "show advanced options"

    scroll down again and tap on "IPv4 settings"

    you will have 2 options "DHCP" (automatic), "static" (manual)

    choose "static" and insert your settings.

     

    Always remember to do a connection at time, you can't have both enabled.
