How to set DHCP server ip range?
My setup WAS
- router supplied by ISP
- 6 x deco units
My NEW setup is
- Deco X50 is now the router, ie, it connects to fibre modem and feeds to other deco units
- 5 x other deco units.
It all works very well and I'm very happy, EXCEPT:
- I have a whole lot of stuff with fixed IP addresses (Raspberry pis mainly), and I can't access the setup on the Deco X50 to change the DHCP IP pool
.
My router ip is 192.168.1.1.
In the OLD setup with an ISP provided router, I could do all sorts of things like port forwarding and ip reservations. If necessary (it's not) I could change my password and login info for the fibre modem.
In my NEW setup all those options are gone.
I need to be able to get into it to change the DHCP settings because I'm worried that the Deco will allocate an ip address already in use by one of my raspis.
If the Deco checks to see (through magic? Pinging?) whether an ip address is already in use before allocating it, no problem.
I suspect I'll have to factory reset the Deco, which will be a problem because I have no idea what my ISP login details are and I dread the thought of getting such details aout of my ISP.
Help!
