NetGear Router | WAN / LAN IP Conflict issue
I recently had an issue on my XR1000 where I was not able to apply IP address reservation in the LAN setup page, due to the router reporting back that the LAN IP range is in conflict with the WAN IP....
The Settings pages are NTGR software, not something we've touched ever so it wouldn't be something we could change. I don't believe using internal DNS has worked in the past, I could be wrong. Don't know the setup but if it's a device upstream of the XR it may not work, it may need an IP from the XR to work instead, again, I don't recall using internal DNS working though.
Using internal DNS server IP does work, it's just that I noticed this "WAN / LAN IP conflict" message issue if you happen to be using a LAN IP for DNS requests (i.e. a pi-hole), and then you want to apply configuration settings in the LAN setup page, then it gives the message and won't apply the new config. I have noticed a few individuals mentioning this same issue, albeit probably not a very common one since most people just either use ISP assigned or choose cloudflare or google.
So this works for me on my XR500 that i already had out on my desk.
Setting Default IP address range .100 to .150:
I just entered in some IP addresses outside of the new default IP address range and hit apply and didn't get any conflict messages:
Those IPs I tried didn't have any connection, just wanted to see if an LAN side IP address would work and it did. I presume this should work on the XR1000 as well since should be same base code.
