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 ...
Thats been a networking standard since the dawn of time.
I wanting to check out more IP address and subnets, look for the IPAddressCalculator online. Theres free ones on web sites and free installable programs. I would highly recommend takeing the Networking + Comptia course for general knowledge and information on howe IP addressing and subnets works. It's a good class and great knowledge to learn about, espeically with dealing with networks.
- I think you misunderstood. I understand subnetting, and I have set up my subnet as 192.168.0.1/23 (mask 255.255.254.0). This gives me a range of IPs on my subnet from 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.255. I want to be able to have the router assign IP addresses from 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.1.200, as an example, but the router is forcing the third octet to be the same for the start and end IP in the DHCP range definition. You said the range has to be that way (third octet the same for start and end), and my question is whether you know that is the definite hard rule, or if you are just saying that because the web UI has the third octet field disabled.
