Hi. I've already tried the manual route; as stated, all other choices beside DHCP are dimmed, and I don't know why. As for the router, the documentation is not accessible, so I have no clue how to go about updating the firmware. All other devices in the house are connecting just fine, and the WiFi is showing on my status menu as present and on, but there is a "self-assigned IP address" and it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I cannot figure out how to change this IP address. I cannot erase it. I am at a complete loss. Christine
