The IP address conflicts with the WAN IP subnet. Please enter a different IP address.
Note that the "asspciated Products" field refused to take any version of my actual product name or model number. I ended up entering "netgear" and selecting the first choice out of a total of two ch...
Try changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Try changing the Router IP to 192.168.0.1 and see what happens...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
I do not have any ISP-provided hardware. I own the cable modem and I own the one and only router. The only thing the ISP provides is the wire connected to my home.
You suggested changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. I can see this is going to get messy right away. It already is 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask you might be referring to, which is stated as 255.255.240.0 in my initial writeup seems to be the subnet of the ISP-provided public IP address (the IP that shows up if I go to whatismyipaddress.com). I have no way of modifying that subnet. It seems to be totally separate and unrelated to the subnet mask that is listed with my router's internal IP address of 192.168.1.1 (this has been my router's internal address for decades, along with my subnet mask of 255.255.255.0).
MY ROUTER, on the other hand, is at 192.168.1.1 with its own subnet of 255.255.255.0. It doesn't matter whether I set this internal subnet mask to the 255.255.240.0 subnet to match that of the ISP. As for changing my router IP to 192.168.0.1, I've tried that, and it doesn't fix the issue.
Whom is the ISP?
What is the brand and model# of the ISP modem your using?
For most cable ISPs, Dynamic WAN IP addressing is mostly used, not a static configuration. So setting the WAN or Internet configuration to Automatic is all that's needed. Only if the ISP configures a static IP address on the WAN side would that be needed. Something to ask the ISP about.
Was making sure about the LAN side configuration so your good there.
The WAN side is not used for any configurations on the LAN side.LAN side under LAN Setup is where you can configure IP address reservations for devices you have connected there.
What configuration were you trying to input before selecting the apply button?
Any progress on this?
