Choose your IP address manually? It's crucial to manually select an IP address that doesn't conflict with existing IP addresses on the network.
For example, if the router's IP address is '192.168.1.1' and there are a total of 5 connected devices on the network, choose an IP address outside the potential range of those devices (addresses could be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.6), and the potential hidden IP address could be '192.168.1.75' or another non-conflicting address that doesn't match existing network resources.
Step 6. Click on OK .
Step 7. Click on Apply to apply the changes.
