Hello, I'm a computer illiterate which mean I don't know much about them. I just bought a Dreamlink T1 Plus and a subscription service. Setting it up with wifi and everything is working fine. However, I'd like to use wired network instead of WiFi but I don't know how to get it to work. I have Roku, WDTV, Chromecast, Tivo... and all are pretty much plug and play. I just need to plug the Ethernet cable in and it automatically works. With Dreamlink T1 Plus when I chose "Automatic(DHCP) it didn't work. I have Asus RT-N66U router and DHCP is enable. I tried to add the Dreamlink Mac ID to the router and assign an IP address but it didn't work.
Next I tried Manual but I don't know exactly how. Here is my input:
IP Address 192.168.1.150 (it doesn't duplicate any other device in my house)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
First DNS: 192.168.1.1
Second DNS: 0.0.0.0
When I chose SET it going back to Network Summary:
IP Address:0.0.0.0
Gateway:0.0.0.0
First DNS:0.0.0.0
Connected to Internet: No
What am I doing wrong? I have tried IP address randomly without duplicate other device 192.168.1.xxx without success. I have the Dreamlink ethernet cable running to a TP-Link Switch which in turn connect to the Asus RT-N66U router. This same cable is working with WDTV, Roku and Tivo Roamio box. Please help! Thank you in advance.
