RAX80 ip assignment numbers changed from 192.168.1.xx to 10.0.0.xx
I wanted to put my cameras etc on static addresses and was given this link by netgear support ( https://kb.netgear.com/30510/How-do-I-set-static-Domain-Name-System-servers-on-my-NETGEAR-router). I kn...
If your router does detect that the 192.168.1.x network is already in use on the WAN/Internet port side (this can be because of a cable modem isn't properly configured by the ISP or because the cable modem does not had an uplink while the router was started [levaing the modem on a default 192.168.1.x subnet] - Netgear does some smart-a** and does automatically reconfigure the LAN to that 10.0.0.x/24 network. Key reason is because a [NAT] router an't work with the same subnet on multiple interfaces. With the Internet connection enabled, reboot the router, and check if it does revert to 192.169.1.x/24.

schmaku thanks a lot as that explanation was what I was looking for. I did reboot and it stayed 10.0.0.xx but that is not a problem for me as set up all my static ip assignments on the 10. The router had been working fine with the 192. for days and only changed when I followed the link instructions I was given. Still not sure what exactly happened, but your ref to the router set to do that is what I eanted to know. Thanks again
