R6400 Lost Configuration on Reboot Everytime

Everytime I reboot my router or if I lose power I lost my wifi network configuration where the gateway ip address, and the subnet I've assigned.

 

When I assign 192.168.100.0  it always defaults back to 192.168.1  subnet.  However, my username and pasword are always working so it's not losing everything.

 

Any ideas?

       Where, exactly, are you setting that?

       At least one of us is confused.  On my R7000 (V1.0.7.6_1.1.99), the
    only address under ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup is the "Default DMZ
    Server".  The router's WAN IP address is set under ADVANCED > Setup >
    Internet Setup: Internet IP Address, and its LAN address (with netmask)
    is set under ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup: LAN TCP/IP Setup.

       Your R6400 could be different, but perhaps it would help if you
    explained what you're trying to do.

      I have another device on my network I have at 192.168.1.1 and I don't want my router to start using that address.  I tell the software that the router is 192.168.100.10, and all new devices  use 192.168.100.20+ (That way I'm using a different subnet than the other device).  When it reboots it should maintain those settings but it reverts back to 192.168.1.1 and all the devices start connecting as 192.168.1.2, .3, .4 and etc.

        Hi unixdude,

         

        1. What is the firmware version of the router?

        2. Have you tried resetting the router to factory defaults?

        3. Please make sure that the router is not set to AP mode.
