Settings had grown to 21 rows in one list. It opens on five groups (This device, Display, GNSS and radio, Network, System); Enter opens one, Back returns to the groups, and Back from the groups leaves Settings. SettingsMenu holds the groups and which one is open (host-tested: every setting is in exactly one group). The guide, the how-tos, the README, the scripts' messages and the firmware's own name the new paths, such as "Settings > System > Firmware".

1. **Add the network first.** In **Settings → Network → Wi-Fi**, choose **Add a network**, pick it and type the password. (A hidden network has its own entry, which asks for the name first.)
|
|
2. **Open the network's page:** <kbd>Enter</kbd> on it in the list of saved networks.
|
|
3. **Set *IP address* to *Fixed*.** The address, the prefix and the gateway start from what the network is giving the device at that moment, so you only change what is wrong.
|
|
- **Address:** four numbers, like `10.39.39.13`.
|
|
- **Prefix:** 1 to 30. 24 is 255.255.255.0.
|
|
- **Gateway:** optional; empty means none.
|
|
4. **Leave the page.** The setting is checked and applied then; a bad address is refused with the reason.
|
|
5. **Check it.** Back in **Settings → Network → Wi-Fi**, <kbd>Enter</kbd> on **Status** shows the address, the mask, the gateway, the DNS and NTP servers, and where each came from.
|
|
|
|
## DNS and time
|
|
|
|
**DNS and NTP** on the Wi-Fi page holds two DNS servers (9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 by default) and two NTP servers (pool.ntp.org and time.cloudflare.com). They are used on Fixed networks, or on every network if **Always use my DNS** is on. Leave a second server empty if you only have one. IPv4 only.
|
|
|
|
To go back, set *IP address* to *Automatic*. **Forget this network** is at the bottom of the same page.
