The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router.

the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply

IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

There is no need to change the subnet mask as the router will
automatically adjust the length based on the IP address type.

be turned OFF if necessary, however, in order to do so you must
manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network.
To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
