Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your

network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where

X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the

DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
