I went to setup the controller today, changed network to dhcp and added a password. Restarted the controller and all a sudden it's not found on my network nor can I access it anymore.

Thats weird, I've seen that when I set static ip. Does your router recognize your device? Did you try plugging in a hdmi monitor to see what the controller displays on the screen?

It like literally keeps resetting it. I unplug the power cord, plug it back in, and nothing is saved. I have to redo the 192.168.0.100 everytime and set it up.

I know you might be familiar with this, but here are some instructions.

Method 1.
When you have the Raspberry connected to your router device, it should be able to get an IP address automatically from the router DHCP IP address pool.
If you follow these instructions carefully,
you should be able to set the Raspberry in the DHCP Client mode (DHCP = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol),
and the Raspberry will acquire an IP address automatically.
See chapter 6 in this review/guide I made very recently.

When you have changed the network setting and you then click Save & Apply, you will lose the connection, because the Raspberry has acquired a new IP address automatically from the router device DHCP IP address pool.

Please make sure your router device connection protocol is set to the DHCP mode.
This setup will not work if the router is not in the DHCP mode.
After you have followed these steps, you should be able to see it listed in your router IP address list.

Method 2.
Another method to try is to stay with the static IP address settings and modify them according to your network setup.

In this example, the router gateway address is 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
DNS server IP address is 8.8.8.8

Because the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, we know that there are 254 usable hosts in this subnet.
So the IP address range is from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.

Please pick a free IP address of your choice for the Raspberry IP address and enter it in the network configuration.
For example 192.168.1.254, given that it is available and not reserved already.

Click Save & Apply.

You will lose the connection, but you should be able to reach the Raspberry by using the new IP address.
