Manually Assign Local IP Streambox

How can I manually set.the local IP of my streambox. I want to use ADBlock on the router however this stops some channels on the Streambox.

Regards.

    Note the MAC address of the stream box and use a reserved dhcp address. This will ensure the box gets the same IP at all times.

      Thank you. I was thinking more on the box itself as I need to assign DNS addresses, and unfortunately I cannot do that via a static DHCP address.

    Can’t help with that as I don’t use the stream box. Maybe get your own 3rd party router and use modem mode. At least you can then control your own network.

      Thank you for trying to help.

      I do use a third party and I set the IP via DHCP, however I cannot set the DNS individually via DHCP, and hence asking if there was a way to manually set it on the Streambox.

      Who's the maker? These are all good suggestions, however VM makes the software, and it's an Android box. With that said, I cannot find the manual hence I'm on the VM forums asking.
