NOTE: Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
I am wondering why this recommendation, as I've also seen it for other models. Any thoughts?
I have been using 10.1.1/24 for years and have had no serious issues for this model, it’s also a great deal easier to type out the IP4 addresses with this range.
I hope that the built in DHCP service doesn’t have some hardcoded mess inside that prioritizes the 100 to 200 range for the 192.168/16 subnet, or any other subnet for that matter.
I’d also appreciate a clarification on this point.
The 100-200 range is just a recommendation only. Personal experience brought over from other brand router mfr I used for years as there default range. Worked well for me there and works for my needs on NG routers. Gives room for static IP assigned devices on ether side of the pool as well. Also less to handle in regards for the router management with a smaller IP address pool size.
