Is this something I need to do through my pc itself, or can I ask the router to do assign it a specific IP address every time the PC connects?

You could give your pc an ip below the dhcp range, being safe you could fill in you pc as follows.
Address 192.168.1.10
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.254
Dns 212.159.6.9
Dns 212.159.6.10
Also in the router you can tell it to use the same ip everytime

Personally I'd recommend fixing the IP address for the PC in the router.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

You should now see your Computer listed under Ethernet or if it's Wireless there, if not click on Devices on the LHS.
Your Computer's name will be underlined in blue. Click on it and then select Configure on the top RHS. There you can select the type if you choose and lower down tick the box for Always use the same IP address:
HTH.

Is there anyway to change forcibly change the PC's IP address? I need to change it from x.x.x.76 to x.x.x.64?

It's just because I had my Sabnzbd set up as a bookmark to the previous IP address. I just had to figure out how to get back into the config so I could change it.
Thanks guys, you've been very helpful.
