Hi. I accidentally changed my "starting IP address" and lost internet connection directly afterwards. What exactly in the starting up address, and how do I fix this?
 
Solution
After you finish reseting and resetting up your router, go to portforwarding.com and you will find directions on doing it for your specific router.

FYI: on the router side the ISPS router gives your Router an IP address as well. Instead of figuring out if you misconfigured the Routers IP address or the IP addresses your router gives to your devices (or any other settings misconfigured) I just had you reset it.
Ok, the best thing to do is reset the router back to factory settings and then reconfigure it. Most routers have a little button that you have to press with a pin and hold for 30 seconds and then reboot. If nothing else just google reset (whatever your router model number is) and you will find instructions.
