Configuring Network Adapter for fixed IP address
I've just changed ISP and their supplied router (BT SmartHub) has an IP address of 192.168.1.254 whereas my previous router (ASUS RT-AC87U) was at 192.168.1.1
My Windows 10 PC is configured with a fixed IP address, using 192.168.1.1 and this caused me some head-scratching.
What is the current path (beginning at the Windows "Start" button at the bottom left) to get to the Network Adapter TCP/IP settings?
I went: Settings -> Network & Internet -> Change Adapter Options -> Ethernet -> Properties -> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
I've been configuring fixed IP addresses for several decades, and it always seemed a bit convoluted. But now it seems worse. This might be because I'm gradually forgetting stuff like this, and changing a fixed IP address isn't something I do every day (This PC was setup in 2012)
