Router - IP address range
Dealing with a new router to replace the current internet provider modem/router for a small business. But the business has about 6 IP addressed printers, plotters, and scanners. I normally use t...
The current router is the modem/router from the internet provider. It is set to 10.1.10.nnn range with the 10.1.10.nnn range for the network.
I'm replacing the internet provider's router with a new router.
Can I setup the new router with the same 10.1.10.nnn range? Or is 10.1.10.nnn only used by internet providers?
All static devices and dynamically assigned devices are on the current IP range of 10.1.10.nnn.
The current modem is assessed by the 10.1.10.1 IP address (Comcast Xfinity modem/router). That is why i was thinking I need to start the IP address space at 10.1.10.2 thru 254. But removing the IPs used by static devices (which is 5 thru 30). Thats easy.
Thanks for the help. Hoping I'm making this clearer.

Ya you could use same IP address string.
I recommend setting the range to .100 thru .200. So you have room on either side for static IP addressed assigned devices.
