IP range mixup

Hi,   Recently switched my modem. Got a ATT modem+router. Did a passthrough and configured the network. When I hooked up, router picked 10.0.0.1 as the IP range, probably due to a conflict before I...

    Thanks for the help. I was able to resolve by configuring a different IP range for the modem. It seems the ATT modem does not function just as a modem.

Thanks for the messages. I ATT Router model model is BGW320-505

 

The ATT router is occupying 192.168. range. I am not certain how to turn that off. Do I thrun off DHCP Server?

See the attached image

 

Thank you again!

Try this:

 

bgw320-505 bridge mode - Google Search

 

Not all modem/routers (or gateways) let you use modem only mode. But those search results might help.

    Thanks. I did read most of these pages but couldn't find information about enabling or disabling the DHCP Server.

     

    I am not sure why Netgear router assigned an out of range IP to the camera. Anybody has an answer to that?

      I doubt if it did that. You should be able to tell the camera to use whatever IP address you like.

       

      Netgear hasn't picked anything "illegal". It is just following the rules. 10.0.0.1  is "a reserved IP address for the private network of class A".

       

      10.0.0.1 as the IP range - Google Search

       

      You might do better to talk yo the people who made the cameras:

       

      IP Config Software – Amcrest

      Probably the wrong question. Investigate "bridge mode".

           If those settings are active, then "Did a passthrough" seems not to
        be true.  Or your definition of "passthrough" doesn't match the usual
        one.

         

           Presumably, there are instructions someplace for configuring the
        BGW320-505 as a modem-only ("bridge" mode).  Disabling its DHCP server
        would not stop its router from functioning, which is what you want.

           Thanks for the helpful links.  With my weak psychic powers, I can't
        see what you read.

         

        > [...] but couldn't find information about enabling or disabling the

           Forget about the DHCP server on the BGW320-505.  How to disable it
        looks pretty obvious to me on the picture you provided, but, as stated
        above: Disabling its DHCP server would not stop its router from
        functioning, which is what you want.

           Why blame the Netgear router for that?

         

        >    Only one of us was there when their addresses were assigned.

         

           Still true.

         

         

        > Probably the wrong question. [...]

         

           Not "Probably"; _certainly_.
