DHCP/Auto IP or automatic network addressing is a protocol used to automatically connect network devices to a network. Please, refer to your router or wireless access point’s hardware instructions to see if this is supported.

Static (or fixed) IP address:This is an IP address that your TV will always use to connect to your home network.When DHCP/Auto IP is not available, you can set a static IP address on your TV.

A Subnet mask is used to define a subnet which is separated from all other networks by a router. The subnet mask indicates which part of the IP address is on the local network, and which must go out through the router.
