Hello MattOfAllTrades,
Welcome to the community!
Did you test using ping? If you put the router back to factory defaults it will have its DHCP enabled automatically, there is no need for you to assign a static IP on your laptop. Here's what you can check:
- Disable the firewall/anti-virus on your laptop.
- Perform a ping test.
If this will not work, perform a factory reset using this procedure:
- While the router is on, push and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
- Continue holding the reset button and turn off the router, do this for another 30 seconds.
- Turn on the router, continue to hold the reset button for 30 seconds more.
- Let the router boot normally.
Let us know if this helps.
Thanks,
