XR500 IP range

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to extend the IP range of the XR500 to support more than the 254 devices?

 

I tried changing the subnet mask from

255.255.255.0

to

255.255.254.0

 

But my IP range was still limited to

192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254

I was hoping it would allow me to set it from something like

192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.254

 

Is it possible to set that range anywhere else? thank you

  • I know I responded to you on the Netduma forum already but it may be worth making a ticket directly with Netgear for this.
