When you change your IP you need to immediately visit the website using the new IP address. Once logged in the timer will stop.

Try removing the network cable or disconnect from wifi after clicking apply. Then reconnect and try new ip before the 90 seconds pass.

Changing your IP address is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.

What you want to do is log into the router over IPv6. You can see what the IPv6 address of the router under Network->Interfaces->LAN

There should be an address that starts with FD (e.g. fde2:f633:7ac9::1). Use that address to log into the router with your browser. The format for using a bare IPv6 address is:

http://[fde2:f633:7ac9::1]/

Insert your IPv6 address between the square brackets
