    I don't use the Hub's as Routers, but in the Hub's admin console you should be able to see the DHCP scope, and just pick an IP that's outside this range.  I'm guessing something like 192.168.0.9 as I think the DHCP scope starts at 192.168.0.10   Once you have this IP address, just add this to your NAS using the NAS OS.  So e.g. it would be a manual IP address 192.168.0.9, Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 rather than DHCP.

    If you do this don't forget to remove the Reserved IP from the Hub
