Nope. Don't change any of those. They are the IP Address of your Router, and other details that get you connected to the network.
In your Router interface, look under the "LAN" or "Local Area NetworK" item. Then look for an area headed "Static Leases" or "IP Address Reservation", "DHCP Reservation" or similar.
Better yet, post the exact model number of your Netgear Router.
Also, it looks like the IP Address you are looking for in 192.168.1.6, with the MAC Address of C8-FF-28-CE-9E-EB, based on the image you posted above.

Man, I really appreciate it. My router is the Netgear R6250. I just want to get back to listening to my music. I know most people probably look at these posts and think I'm a moron, but I'm just not real computer savvy.... I'm willing to learn but starting to wondering if JRiver is even for me at this point....
music first:
I found it.

EDIT: So did I! Read below anyway. ;)
Unfortunately, with all the modern security issues, Windows 10 updates often not working properly or breaking things, and networking just getting more complex, we all need to learn enough to be able to fix stuff these days. You'll manage.
I downloaded the manual for your router from here; https://www.netgear.com/support/product/r6250.aspx#docs as it looks like you are in America. (I'm in Australia.)
What you need is on Page 36 of that manual, and is called "Address Reservation". The instructions there are pretty good. There is some explanation on Page 35 that is worth a read.
I recommend you do follow the advice to use the "Attached Devices" screen (Page 26) to view your connected devices, including the Windows 10 PC on wireless, and copy the MAC Address from there, to avoid any possible errors typing. You will also be able to confirm the IP Address that the Windows 10 MC PC is using now. It is easiest to use the same IP Address in the reservation.
Do make sure you reboot the Windows 10 PC after making the above change. It wouldn't hurt to completely power down your Yamaha 3060 as well, and then restart it.
This may not fix your original issue with the Windows 10 MC Server dropping off the network, but it is a good start. If the problem persists it could be there is some form of interference, even just a warm, wet human body walking up stairs between the router and the PC can cause issues if the signal is a bit dodgy. But you say the signal is strong, so we shall see.

Yes, I am in the states. Arizona. Anyway this is very strange. When I hit Net button on the Yamaha to get to my server. I don't see the network, then after a minute or so it will appear and music start playing. Then it will disappear again. Damn frustrating. I went into configure LAN, funny thing is, the MAC address I copied from my network settings is already there...…………..go figure..
thanks Roderick.
