DHCP address editing

kungfujoe · 09-08-2006, 10:01 PM

I have both a Netgear RP114 (dont laugh, its arcaic, I know), and a Dynex DX-E401 (dont laugh, its cheap, I know), and I'm trying to change the DHCP address. more specificly, I'm trying to change the 3rd set of numbers in it(aka, 192.168.HERE.1). The dynex dosen't even offer a changeable box to mess around with. The netgear, however, does, but when I change the number to anything but 0, it brings up an error and nothing changes.
My current, and most likely, option is to buy a new router, but If it's possible, I'd like to avoid that

Thanks alot for your time

Have you tried upgrading the firmware? http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/rp114.asp

You should be able to change the IP address for DHCP. Also make sure that you change the routers IP address so that it is within the same subnet.

I've changed the IP address range in D-Link, ZyXEL, SMC, and Belkin routers. I'm somewhat surprised that any router doesn't offer that option, since there are situations where it's necessary or desirable.
