Yes, a WiFi extender works for me as well. The one I'm using is $39 on

As someone who doesn’t have a wired Ethernet connection in the shack, I can
assure anyone concerned about updating a K4 via wireless, that an ordinary
WiFi extender with an RJ45 Ethernet port works fine.
I use a Netgear AC1200 (EX6120) with a 5 metre Cat6 fully shielded patch
cable. It works
On the contrary, it's easy to update wirelessly. I must have been
less than clear with my original comment. Let me try again:
If you don't have wired ethernet conveniently available
near your K4, get a "Ethernet Extender" such as this:
There is no way to update wirelessly?

No other setup that I'm aware of. Just plug in wired RJ45 Ethernet with
active DHCP and an IP address appears on the K4 menu. Tap Fn|UPDATE and
you're in dialog to download the latest or a prior release. Easy peasy.
If you don't have easy access to wired Ethernet, use a so-called Ethernet
The K4D default is DHCP client enabled, and as you point out almost all home
routers are configured as DHCP servers. The only time I have seen when they are
not is if someone had changed it.

When you plug in the Ethernet connection from the radio to your router then
router should assign the radio an IP address then you can do the akftware
updates.

Can I connect the ethernet port directly from my internet sevice provider
router to my K4 for firmware updates? If so, would I need to go into the K4
menu and change the IP address since NO ETHERNET is the default setting?
Thanks. Roy Morris W4WFB
