Invalid Data. Lan IP Address Overlapped! - N300 / C3000
Hi, I'm trying to do the very simple task of changing my router's network address, but I keep getting the error "Invalid Data. Lan IP Address Overlapped!". Overlapped with what? It won't tell me....
Ok. I think I figured out what is causing the problem but I can't figure out a solution.
From the beginning, I disabled the guest network and have no need to enable it. Finally, it dawned on me that the router might be setting that to the 192.168.1.0 network. I enabled it, connected and looked at the IP i received. There it was, a 192.168.1.x network address.
Is there a way to change the guest network to have a different network address?
Why does the router firmware even care if there is an overlap if the guest network is disabled?
Why doesn't it change the guest network to a different value if there is overlap, especially when it is safe to do so (it was never enabled, etc)?
Why isn't there a way to set the Guest Network address?
