RBR50 Cannot change DHCP range or IP Subnet
Since I upgraded to firmare V2.7.1.6 I'm having some problems... My router seems to have its LAN interface configured with IP subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and the router's address is 192.168.1.250 The...
The start and end of the dhcp range are parameters. Maybe it would be possible to set them from the telnet interface. i.e.
config set dhcp_start = 192.168.1.2
config set dhcp_end = 192.168.1.99 (or something)
config commit
and there is lan_ipaddr, which on my Orbi is lan_ipaddr = 192.168.1.1
I just realized that while I have several soldering irons, I have no device with an RS232 port. Does this mean U-Boot is not ever in my future?

Here are the instructions for the ORBI serial port if you ever need it...

found via a web search that turned up this page on installing/fixing custom router firmware:
You can buy a USB debug dongle from Amazon for about $10 and it attaches to three header pins on the Orbi router motherboard. (cracking open the router case is a whole nother thing! ;-)
