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:
https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter-Extender-TP-Link/dp/B084CZMYNM/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=ethernet%2Bextender&qid=1650918537&sr=8-6&th=1
The device connects to your WiFi network. It also has an RJ45
connector. Run an ethernet cable from the device to your K4 and
it works as if you had connected the K4 directly to your router.

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
Extender with an RJ45 jack and use your in-home WiFi signal.

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
