Wizard Reset

My Humax4 has had 4 or 5 Wizard resets in the last 6-8 weeks. I usually get the odd one every 1-2 years.
Is these a known cause of these?

Additionally, every time I complete the wizard and change my wired IP from DHCP to manual: 192.168,1,214 after reboot to apply the changes the IP changes to something like 192.001.002.192 and I'm forced to correct manually again.

Why does this happen?
Is there a way or pre-setting this?
I notice that the boot-settings package does not have the option of setting this.

192.0.2.100 is the factory default IP address for Ethernet (192.0.2.200 for WiFi). It will also default if a DHCP request times out. It sounds to me like you are not setting the manual IP address correctly (either that or the hardware is faulty).

The easy way to configure Ethernet is to apply DHCP to gather the gateway etc, and then change "DHCP" to "Manual" and edit the IP address (just the last three digits).

God (af123) only found a way to write to the WiFi network settings, not the Ethernet settings.

If you change your home network to 192.0.2.x, you could operate the HDR-FOX on its default IP address.
