I recommend that you leave the DHCP IP address pool range set to a smaller range. You don't have to use the default range. I personally never use the factory range on any NG router. Also this provides room for static IP addressed devices as well. I use .100 to .150 as I only have around 30 devices. Plenty of room for additional devices if and when that happens.
We hope so, however don't have that info.

My XR500 had a problem - documented here:
...where it would sporadically restart and reset. Since upgrading to .134, I haven't experienced this again. But I also hadn't reserved any addresses. Earlier this week, I reserved one device and address in the LAN. My DHCP is set to 192.168.1.2 - 254.
The morning after I made the reservation, my router restarted and reset - just like it had previously.
Is anyone else experiencing this...and is there ever going to be any relief?
