Login into the G1100 and go to...

My Network > Network Connections  > Network (Home/Office) > Settings 

Change the 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.X and scroll down and disable the DHCH Server and Apply. Make sure the IP you change to is the same as your router's subnet and not an IP that's in use already. Connect your router LAN to G1100 LAN then reboot you STBs.
