I take no credit other than capturing info on how to create a static address which allows you to create a shortcut. It may change eventually but so far so good:
"Fixed or Static address
If you go to 'Wi-Fi' on your PlayBook and select 'Saved Networks' under 'Select a network', edit your wireless network and uncheck 'Automatically obtain IP address'... there you can set a static address for your PlayBook to use.
Your typical settings will be:
IP Address: 192.168.X.X (this will be your local network... if your linksys sits on 192.168.1.X then your IP can be anything between 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254... obviously it can't be the same IP as your linksys or any active device on the network)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Primary DNS: (I use OpenDNS) 208.67.222.222
Secondary: 208.67.220.220
Default gateway: 192.168.X.X (the IP you use to access the linksys page)
It may be easier doing this on the linksys device it self... try and find a page which lets you enter a hostname, MAC address, IP address and lease time.
