Not as such, but there is an easy way to do it.
1. Open the network configuration page for the device you want to alter. It
will display the current settings (IP, Subnet mask, MTU etc).
2. Make the changes you want and save them.
3. Go back into the same page, and save the page as HTML from within your
browser. (eg OfficeLAN.html)

Repeat this for each unique setup you want so you end up with a series of
pages. (eg office-lan.html, home.html, crosstown-office.html)
Now when you want to change the settings to a particular preset, you just
open the relevant page and select Save. The only gotcha is to make sure the
pages link to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) if you are planning on changing your IP
address for different locations (easy to do with a text editor).
