Orbi IP Address Range
The default DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
I seem unable to modify this to be able to use 192.168.xx.yy or 172.16.xx.yy.
Is this just me or is this a limitation on the Orbi ...
What browser are you using? Does using a different browser have any difference?
Is there a reason why you need 172?
Ive been able to set 192.168.0.100 thru .200 on mine...
Possible NG may have set limitations on what class of IP address is supported on them...
Thx for your examples.
172.16.xx.yy was just an example as I tried that as well for completeness, I would probably stick with 192.168.xx.yy.
I was using Chrome browser and my Orbi is configured as a router interfacing to a BT modem. My BT HomeHub 5 offers a DHCP Network Range of, for example, 172.16.0.64 - 172.16.255.254 (which was partly why I tried using 172.16.xx.yy) so it is not an ISP limitation.
I notice that you were able to set 192.168.0.100 thru .200 but have you managed to change the third field/octet i.e. 192.168.10.100 or 192.168.20.100 so that theaddrtess range would be, for example, 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.10.200?
