## Assumptions ##
- Intel® IoT Gateway Technology version 3.1 or above
- You have wired network connectivity to the IoT Gateway and you know it's IP address
- You have wired network connectivity to the IoT Gateway and you know its IP address.

## Warning ##
It is highly recommenced you connect the IoT Gatway to a wired network and use that connection for this process. It is possible to make these changes via the wireless connection as long as you only save changes, but not apply them, until the last step; but if you make any mistakes or if it doesn't connect to your WiFi network for some reason, you may not longer be able to access the gateway. If this happens, see the Restoring factory network setting section below.
