IP Info

When connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi Information window opens the IP Info tab that displays the device Internet Protocol (IP) information including the host name, domain, DNS server, IP address, etc.

This tab also allows you to renew the IP address when the wireless network uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Pressing the Renew button forces the device to refresh its server-assigned IP address. The process may take several seconds while the system updates the IP information.
