Thanks very much for your reply.  Unfortunately following these steps doesn't work.

 

I simply can't ping 192.168.1.1 - it tells me 'request timeout'.  Not a single ping is successful.

 

If I soft reset (orange light), the satellite gives me a short burst of 4 successful pings at around 20 seconds after restart at 192.168.1.250, but after that it tells me 'request timeout'.

 

I can't navigate to 192.168.1.10 (the static IP that I've set), nor can I navigate to 192.168.1.250 (internal server error).

 

Anything else I can try?
