Any problems switching from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1
Hi Guys - my orbi arrives when UPS gets it here today and I've been reading up - I have two printers that have static IP's - one of them is a scanner and the other is a color laser that is Apple Print capable - so its used for the phones and tablets.
Both of them are on a 192.168.0.xx static and both are a pain in the rear to use the one line panel to get them to sync up -
Question: Is there any problem renaming the router so its found at 192.168.0.1 so I can access the printers as is - and do a reservation for them as part of set up???
Set a new default IP addrss pool of 192.168.1.100 to .200, then you can set static IP addressed devices on either side of this pool.
Static IP addressed devices need to be out side of the default IP address pool while IP reservations are with in the pool.
I have 3 printers, cameras and 3 NAS set up with static IPs on the devices. I'm also using 192.168.0.1.

Got it - reserved IP addresses need to be outside the pool. . .
But - if I'm using 192.168.0.98 [example] and the reservations are 192.168.1.xx-xxx by default - isnt that already outside the pool? So All I would need do is to make the reservation in the reservations list?
No, Reserved IPs are inside the pool. Static IP devices are outside the pool. Remember you'll be changing the routers IP address string from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1.
