+Versions where some of ``dns``, ``gateway`` and ``subnet`` parameters are not specified use a default value. Default ``subnet`` is 255.255.255.0. Default ``gateway`` and ``dns`` are derived from ``local_ip`` by changing the last number to 1. To return to DHCP you can use ``WiFi.config(INADDR_NONE);``.
+
+**Warning: The default values for dns, gateway and subnet may not match your router's settings.** Also please note, that ``config(local_ip, gateway)`` is not supported and ``WiFi.config(local_ip, gateway, subnet)`` doesn't set the DNS server IP.
