  1. In Control Panel>Network Connections (or Network and Sharing centre) right click on the connection and go to Properties. Scroll to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties button. In to the IP Address line, type 192.168.111.100 then click the next line and the 255.255.255.0 subnet appears by itself. Below that in the Gateway, type 192.168.111.1. Enter that into the DNS boxes below and click Apply and OK your way out. Restart the computer and router,it may be able to find its way top the Net but I'm wondering if it isn't actually working at all. Did you have to install drivers for it? I'm sure Chinese products are wonderful really - and all that - but I'm a bit wary of a product I struggle to find English details for.
  2. Maybe you should consider a diesel generator since gas is not available there if you want to power such a large load. One of the drawbacks though is fuel storage Powering 400 amps off of an LP generator is a large load and will burn through a tank of propane pretty quickly. Maybe you could decide which circuits you absolutely have to power (such as fridge, lights, heat/AC, etc) so you can go with a smaller generator and your propane supply will last longer. I personally went the portable generator/manual transfer switch route since I don't have a gas line coming in, nor do I have propane (other than enough to power a gas grill). Everything in this house is electric (including heat, which is expensive). The circuits I am powering with the generator is the fridge, downstairs heat, interior lights (including the circuit that powers medical equipment most importantly), an most of the wall sockets (TVs, computers, and window A/C units). Everything else, water heater, stove, microwave, washer/dryer, upstairs heat, and garbage disposal will be non-functional during a power outage. Fortunately we have city water (no well pump) and we do not have a leaky basement (no sump pump required). I bought the generator during the October snowstorm and waited a good two hours in line. Lowes had a shipment of 800 generators that day and they had 46 left by the time it was my turn. I bought it sight unseen. Of course the lights came on a couple of hours later after being out three days (did not have to use generator). Had I not bought the generator, I'd would have been out a good two weeks.
