Request for firmware update Netgear MR5200; possibility to change default 192.168.1.1 and 24 hour
Request for changes, deviceNighthawk M5 (Netgear MR5200); - Option to change the default IP-number 192.168.1.1 - Option to choose 24-hour clocksetting instead of 12-hour clocksetting
I do not have this model, but every other router from Netgear has a web page where the local LAN can be defined.
As long as it is one of the private IP spaces, it doesn't matter which you pick.
The router itself can be assigned any IP address in the LAN. Some customers elect to set theirs to 192.168.1.254.
