cant change IP address range values in LAN DHCP setting

I am using MR60 router. I cant change DHCP range in LAN setting from admin console. As soon as I change ending IP address (last four digits) from 10.0.0.254 to 10.0.0.250 and click Apply, the router restarts and changes the value back to 10.0.0.254.

    What happens if you change the MR  IP address to begin at 10.0.0.50 and end at 10.0.0.200?

     

    What happens if you change the MR  IP address to 192.168.0.1 and then set the DCHP range to 192.168.0.100 to .200?

    I've used this on my MR60...

     

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    You seem to have a router at the ISP level since your IP address seen on the MR seems to be a 10.0.0.x address as this indicates the MR changed from 192.168.1.1 from default to avoid what was seen at the ISP modem level that it maybe using here. 

     

    What browser are you using on the MRs web page to make changes? 

     

    Try making changes with the MR disconnected from the ISP modem/router.

     

  • Did everything you have mentioned, still it comes back to original. Model number of ISP modem is BGW320-505 (Nokia manufactured ATT). I use chrome browser to make changes. You can see 'internet setup' screen of Netgear modem at https://snipboard.io/VoODgX.jpg and LAN setup screen at https://snipboard.io/LOuj0X.jpg

    What was the purpose of erasing the LAN setup display to show only the last parts? (2 and 254)  Since the erased part is supposed to be 10.0.0, there is nothing "sensitive" about this information.

      Looks like it has been changed and disabled to avoid double NAT with the ISP gateway.

  • What's the need to change to the ending LAN ip address from 254 to 250? You seem to be already in a double NAT scneario with your ISP gateway which isn't ideal.
