Need to change router IP address can't click on the LAN Setup
I need to change the router's IP address. When I click on Setup - I can't access the LAN Setup option - it's blacked out. I do I get access to the LAN setup option?

Why? What are you really trying to do that needs that change?
And what IP address? Local? WAN?

What does "LAN Setup" mean to you? The browser graphical user interface (GUI) for your router?
What happens when you try?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
