Updated this morning and set the IP range to the recommended 100-200 range. So far all seems to be good. Do you know why the 100-200 range is recommended?

I know that default .2 thru .254 is wide open. However most average home users don't need all that space. There are some users have may however, most home users have maybe 30-40 max devices connected so doesn't make sense to have the system wide open like that all the time that would not all be used. I also found this years ago from one other router mfr that used this as there default range. Been using this configuration since then. Been working well for me on NG routers. Of course, the range can always be adjusted. Also seem to help the system run more stable IMO.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
