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 Prin...
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.
Another "growth opportunity" for me. My understanding has been that the Orbi default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP devices are limited to one 255.255.255.0 subnet.
If devices with static IP's (not "assigned", but actually "static") are in the 192.168.0.x and the DHCP pool is in 192.168.1.x and they are all attached to the same Orbi, how does this "work"? I would think that to any device in the 1.x subnet, an address in the 0.x subnet must be "out the WAN port somewhere." (Same thing for the printers. 192.168.1.x must be "outside the local broadcast domain")
I am so confused.
