Migrating receiver from WiFi to Ethernet. Documentation?

$

Is there any documentation that specifically addresses the topic of migrating a (working) Duet Receiver from WiFi to Ethernet?

I'm not obliged to do this; it's working fine on WiFi (the access point is adjacent to my HiFi cabinet), but I use reserved WiFi IP addresses for the controller and the receiver, and I'm running out of these reserved IP addresses in my router (it has a list of 8 devices).
It occurred to me that I could migrate the receiver to Ethernet, and hopefully assign a fixed IP address, thus freeing up one of my 8 router reserved WiFi Address slots.

However, this process is triggering my "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" instinct, in spades.

I'd be happier if there was documentation on this process. From these forums, I've deduced that a factory reset of the controller (find the button, press it for 12 seconds) followed by some configuration shoices should be sufficient. But it would be nice to have a list of the steps that I should go through, a list of what I should expect, and what other changes (if any) are necessary.

If there's no documentation, I'll keep a record of what happens to me and my Duet, and publish a webpage.
