My Router Lan IP is 192.168.0.1
subnet mask : 255:255:254:0
okay so I have a Ethernet connection splitter with 8 Ethernet ports on it. to supply my miners with LAN I have one Ethernet cable running from my modem into the first port in the splitter and then i have the miners connected via ethernet to the other ethernet slots on that splitter.
If I understand correctly you're suggesting that I
1) First disconnect every Ethernet cable in the spliter including the one connecting my split to my modem.
2) assign a static IP address of 192.168.1.2 to my laptop
3) connect my laptop via Ethernet to the first port on the splitter
4) connect the miner with a static IP of 192.168.1.1 and no subnet/gateway assignment to the same splitter
5) Run IP scanner confirming the miner IP and then try to log into the config screen via my laptop
