Thank you for the response Darren. I don't think the IP address is the problem though, when I clicked 'Apply' the router reset but neither of the Wifi led's were illuminated and there was no Wifi available for me to log on to the router.

Setting Router Mode = No puts it into bridge mode.  I would expect Wi-Fi to stop working.

    Then how do I get the Wifi to turn back on? I just tried this again and there was no way to turn the Wifi channels on. I guess I'm confused, the user manual says to make this change(as one of the very first steps) and the router appears to stop working.

      You should only make this change if you have a separate router.  Do you?

        No, this unit is the only unit running. I think I see now, with this setup TWC is only providing access to the internet, everything else is up to me. Thank you for your help and patience.
