Setup DHCP range
I'm about to do a full factory reset on my RAX80 and I'd like to reserve a range for assigned IP. What is best, to start the DHCP past the reserved range or have it at the beginning? For clarificati...

Yes, but:

Sorry, not enough coffee yet lol
Perhaps you didn’t understand my response & I know my English is not the best.
.1 - .99 is the reserved pool
.100 - .254 is the DHCP pool.
BTW, I’ll be doing this in the next hour or so as of this writing.
Thanks to all!

Nor you mine?

Fine with me, but inconsistent with "the reserved scope starts at
101" (as stated by the other fellow).- Ohhh, you’re referring to the other guy, ok.
And yes, of course .1 is the router itself, that goes without saying, just didn’t want to be THAT specific. Well, just done it, still setting it up and I'm already getting mad (putting it politely)!
The reason for this exercise was at the request of the tech support for Circle, it says RAX80 is not supported.
Well, so much for that crap, especially since it originaly WAS, and I purchased it shortly after I purchased the RAX80.
In fact, it's still promoted when you first setup the router and asks you to setup it.
I'm not too mad, since I WAS planning on doing this since it's been flaking out for a while now. Hopefully this fixes it.
