Why has the subnet mask of my R7800 suddenly changed?

Why has the subnet mask of my R7800 suddenly changed?

I am using the latest fw.with stock settings. The subnet mask of my windows 10 pc is the default of 255.255.255.0 per ipconfig /all. This value is not the same for my router. I did a reset and not change. When I replace the r7800 with a different router, the subnet mask match the  ipconfig /all for my windows 10 pc. Any ideas?

Also, the gateway ip of my router is not 192.168.1.1. It is way different.

   As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your
opinion of what's "latest" today.

   Ok.  What is its address?

   What are the IP parameters of the router?  For which interface?

 

   A router does not have _a_ set of IP parameters (address, subnet
mask, and so on).  Each network _interface_ in a router has its own set.
An R7800 has a WAN/Internet interface and a LAN interface.

 

   At what, exactly, are you looking?  What, exactly, are you seeing
there?  I would expect the parameters of a router's LAN and WAN/Internet
interfaces to be very different.  Sadly, with my weak psychic powers, I
can see very few of any of those on your router.

   Not a very detailed description of that device, or what you saw
when you did whatever you did with it.

   It's also completely invisible to the non-psychics in your audience.
