That is only true if DHCP is enabled in the router [it almost always is
in home situations], AND the device you're connecting is configured to
negotiate with DHCP for an IP address lease. I don't have a K4 but I
suspect there is at least one other attribute for the IP address setting
that will activate DHCP negotiation with your router.

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
