The IP address conflicts with the WAN IP subnet. Please enter a different IP address.
Hi experts
Im facing this error message in the title of the post
My expectactions: I want same IP mask before and after the router (Nighthawk R7000). In fact I have a ZTE modem which is connected to a hub, this hub goes to wired network in each room, including the R7000 + some others devices, printer, mycloud, tv, DNLA. I am facing lot of device sharing issues (one laptop does not see the printer, DLNA does not find mycloud, the tv cannot work with internet) and I am wondering if it is not due to the fact I have 2 IP mask: all devices which are connected directly (wired) to the ZTE is in 10.0.0.xxx , and all which is in WIFI is in 192.168.1.xxx. Hence trying to have all in 10.0.0.xxx even wifi devices, but not able to do the change. Also so far I didn't do any tricky change - I guess I still have default config.
I am IT boy but definitely not skilled with network hence kindly asking if you could reply to me as if I would be tennisman - and I have a lot friends tennismen, dont tell me I have no respect for them :)
Thx in advance,
Vince

As this all works, the ZTE is a router/modem.

The R7000 in router mode is isolating, NATing, and firewalling - just like a NAT router is supposed to do. A router is to be used between the Internet/WAN port and the LAN. You can't.

Issues predictable - you have two networks, to LANs. Even if you manage to configure the same IP subnet on both sides (the router Web UI is prohibiting for good reasons): The router is still a router and can't work because it does not know which network you want to reach with the same addresses on both sides.
Correct config is always WAN/Internet [e.g. true Modem] <-> Router WAN/Internet Port <-> all the LAN
What is the plan, for what purpose have you bought the R7000 exactly? If the idea is just offering wireless, you might re-configure the R7000 as a plain wireless access point - check the documentation. Be aware that only one Ethernet port (typically the WAN/Internet port) might be workable for connecting the local network, all others don't work or might be ridiculously slow. Be aware agin that consumer routers make poor wireless access points.

- Hi Guru
Thx a lot, I did the config as plain wireless access point, it’s working perfectly.
“Be aware agin that consumer routers make poor wireless access points.”
You talking about the ZTE ?
Thx,
