    Welcome to the community, Snaterman

    Reset the router to access the admin page or the GUI then start all over. 

    I suggest that you change all wireless settings first before changing the IP addresses.

    Before doing anything, make sure not to connect the router yet to anything else except a PC. 

    For the LAN IP address, set it to 10.0.0.3, copy the subnet mask and the default gateway. 

    Disable the DHCP by unchecking the box that says "Use Router as DHCP Server". After saving the settings, you wouldn't be able to access the page anymore since it changed it's IP address.

    You may now connect the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN port. After connecting the cable, check your computer if it will get an IP address.
