Change from default subnet 192.168.1.* on both router and satelite - how to?
I'm going to install an SRK60 this weekend. I'm new to this kind of mesh system with a router and (a) satelite(s). Reading the documentation, I see that out of the box, the router will be on 192....
Hi Jiheffe2,
You can connect a PC directly to the Orbi Pro router then access its web-GUI and changed its IP address to what you prefer.
If the IP address of the Orbi Pro router was changed from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.2 then you will sync wirelesly the Orbi Pro satellite, the Orbi Pro satellite will automatically changed its IP address to the 192.168.2.x IP range once it successfully synced to the Orbi Pro router.

Thnx! Actually that makes sense, at least if the router is acting as DHCP server. Could have guessed it. Or is it using another method to let the satellite know the subdomain has changed?
