IP Address is not available

Knighty2k,
This works I just tested it.
While the computer has internet download the firmware.
1) Connect your computer to the internet and download latest firmware. Disconnect computer network card. Your computer network card will default to 169.x.x.x
In a command prompt type in IPCONFIG to confirm the new IP and subnet mask of network card.
2) Go to network properties of the network card in you computer and force the IP and subnet values. (I'm not certain you need to do this part) ie "Use the following IP address"
3) Connect OBi to the network card of the computer
4) Use phone to force an IP and subnet mask on the OBi
***1 "Basic Network Status: Your IP Address is not available, Your DHCP is enabled"
***2 "Advanced Network Status: Your Primary DNS Server is not available. Your backup DNS Server is your primary"
***3 "DHCP current value is enabled. Press 1 to enter new value. Press 2 to set default value"
***4 "IP Address current value is not available Press 1 to enter new value. Press 2 to set default value"
5) Use browser to connect to OBi page. You will be able to update the firmware. Worked for me just now.
You just need to force the IP (change the last segment to something different than the network card) and the same subnet mask. You should be able to view the OBi page after.
Sorry I could not be more detailed.

Don't have another LAN or router. Do have a 5 Port Network Mini Switch EZ500-S.
I just got OBi from Amazon couple of days ago after it being out of stock for many days and still it doesn't have most to date firmware.
The firmware has been updated a couple of times very recently, and it's not uncommon for manufacturing to not change as rapidly.
It's worth a shot to put the 5 Port Network Mini Switch EZ500-S in series with the OBi and see if that makes it happy.
Didn't make it happy

Hi
If you have internet and can download firmware onto your computer, you could have that OBi flashed in 10 minutes if you follow the steps I suggested. Otherwise you need to try it with another router.
