Configure LocationFree TV for Your Home Router

In this section you will specify or “lock” an IP address from your router to the LocationFree Base Station.

1Go to Settings > Base station > Internet Connections > LAN (DHCP/Manual IP address settings). Make sure the box next to Automatic IP address configuration (DHCP) is checked and write down on a piece of paper the information in all of the fields.

Check this check box

Settings > Base station > Internet Connection > LAN (DHCP/Manual IP address settings)

2Uncheck the box next to Automatic IP address configuration (DHCP). The information in the fields will clear, which releases the “automatic” IP settings.

3Enter again the information you wrote down in step 1 —with one exception. For the IP address, be sure to change the last two digits to 64. So, if the IP address your router provided is 192.168.0.5, then enter or “assign” 192.168.0.64.1

4Select the Set button to lock in the IP address and other important information on this screen.

5Press the Index button and select Web to go to the Internet. Make sure you are able to access the Internet by viewing any web page. If you are able to access the Internet, the settings are correct.

1Why the number 64? Most routers using DHCP assign the last numbers of an IP address between 2-50. The number 64 is safely out of this range. Note that any two-digit number outside of the DHCP range should work.
