OpenWrt will provide additional functions for the network (for example, you just want to use the Wi-Fi network it provides, or the device is a NAS serving files over the network, or a mini-server offering whatever other service).

to make the same we just did with Luci webinterface above, see above for more detailed explanation of the steps:
uci set network.lan.ipaddr='new-ip-address
' and press Return uci set network.lan.gateway='your-gateway-address
' and press Return uci set network.lan.dns='dns-address-here
' and press Return uci commit && service network restart
(this will save the changes and restart network interfaces)
