Cannot change laptop's ipv4 address.

[mrchow19910319]

I am following a guide on youtube which let you install openwrt on R2S, which can help me bypass the GFW.

 

In the video the dude said  I need to change my laptop's ipv4 address to match openwrt's ip address. 

 

So, in my case I need to change my ip address to a static one which is 192.168.2.X but if I changed it, I cannot connect to internet. 

 

Which part did I do wrong ?

 

This is my current settings : (which works fine)

 

 

This is his setting

 

 

If I do what he said on my machine you can see cant save IP settings. How is that?? 

 

What about I change it from here?? what would my settings be? Also what should be the new DNS address???

I always set my LAN IP settings here, and ignore the other interface.  This one is way less buggy.

The static IP address you have set may not be available on other networks. 

If you have access to the router, you can log on to it and see what device may use that IP address.
