I was updating my router settings for Port Forwarding to start running a gaming server and one of the brilliant suggestions on the guide for the server was to prevent my IP address from always changing by disabling the DHCP from automatically assigning IP addresses which I would rely on.

I stupidly disabled it, applied the change and now I can't get an IP connection through my Eternet or Wi-Fi to even go back into the SuperHub 2 settings on http://192.168.0.1 and I need help reversing this change or at the very least getting my PC back into the network so I can do it myself.

statically configure your wifi or ethernet connection with an IP address of 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

browse to the usual address and re-enable it - don't forget to revert your static config afterwards.. 

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections - right-click the preferred connection (wired or wifi) and select properties, then double click "IPv4 settings" (or similar) to get to the screen you need to configure the address..

Thank you! I had to Google for more specifics about setting a static IP for Windows 10 but that was what I needed to get me back into the hub.
