By default DHCP is enabled, so you don't need to configure anything else:

But you can always set the network settings manually, if necessary:

In the next step, Ruuvi Gateway will ask you to connect the Ethernet cable (but that's okay if it's already connected):

if the Ethernet cable has not been connected in 30 seconds, an error message will be displayed. In this case, you can go back and try again.
