in case your router would have an ethernet port, may you connect it to this?
The router should assign an IP address to the controller. Check your routers status page for IP addresses off connected devices.
If this is not possible, this may be another solution.
Your WLAN network has the address range 198.162.100.1 to 198.162.254, correct? If so and you want to have the following setup wher the router and the Win7 PC are in the Wifi network and you want to connect System Blue via ethernet to the Win7 PC, both networks have to have different IP address range.
ISP <=any IP=> router (e.g. 192.168.100.1) <= Wifi 192.168.100.X => (DHCP e.g. 192.168.100.123) Win7 (static 192.1681.1) <=192.168.1.X => (static 192.168.1.235) SystemBlue
Regarding the default address of System Blue 192.168.1.235 I'm not quite sure. I changed mine to a different one. This address I read in the documentation of System Red.
In the CMD window type "ping 192.168.1.235" - without the quotes. You should get a reply.
In the browser type "http://192.168.1.235" - without the quotes. You should get the web page of System Blue.
Cheers
