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 ...

My complimentary 90 days of support has ended. It looks like I have to purchase premium support in order to report a bug. Is that correct or am I missing something?

I would think of your request as an enhancement rather than fixing a bug. The current implementation in Orbi is that it supports DHCP pool up to 254 addresses (from 1 to 254) and you think that more addresses are needed, please post a request for enhancement here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home
- toddrobJan 03, 2019GuideAh yes, I am quite familiar with the bug vs. enhancement game. If it’s always been that way, it must not be a bug, right? In any case I will submit to the community page you suggested, which I assume is largely a black hole where Netgear can direct users they don’t want to deal with. Thanks for the link.
