Regarding IP addresses. The Router shows a DHCP range from 192.162.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 as available for devices on the network. So, if I need to assign a static IP to a device should I use a number below 99 or above 151?
Thanks!
What I've done, without causing any problems, is set the DNS range to 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.254. I then set any static IP's on devices to between 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.99. That avoids any conflict between DNS assigned IP's and static assigned IP's.
You can set the DNS range on the Actiontec router at 192.168.1.1 > My Network > Network Connections > Full Status > Network (Home/Office) > Settings > Start IP Address & End IP Address.
