Orbi IP Address Range
The default DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
I seem unable to modify this to be able to use 192.168.xx.yy or 172.16.xx.yy.
Is this just me or is this a limitation on the Orbi ...
Home class routers don't support this kind of subnetting.
I don't buy that answer. There has to be a way to change the dhcp range to be a /23. I am running into the same issue.
IT seems that any kind of subnetting is not supported thus grayed out when trying to configure the IP address pool range. I presume NG doesn't support this as again, this is a home class router meant for simple home user needs. Most home users don't have over 200 devices on there network. If you need subnetting, I would recommend reviewing a business class router or use a SW based router like Windows Server.
