How to set DHCP server ip range?
Tuesday
Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: No idea

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!

Do you have access to Deco app? Deco mesh is managed by Deco app. If you do not have login credentials to login to Deco app and see your Deco mesh, there is not much you can do.

Yes I do, no problem.

There is no option to do anything like port forwarding or dhcp ip address allocation.
That's my problem.

You can configure static IP addresses in Deco mesh, here is how: How to configure Address Reservation on a Deco

Remove static IP address setup on devices, they should be requesting IP address from Deco where you reserved it. Device with static IP configured on it may become invisible to Deco and could cause IP conflicts in the future.

 

There is also method to configure port forwarding. Just look around for documentation on that topic, but this feature is present.

 

Unfortunately, Deco mesh does not offer DMZ.

  @iansmcdonald You can set the DHCP range via the app: More, Advanced, DHCP Server.

 

If you want to configure the DHCP to assign static IP addresses to some clients, be aware that the Deco app will only accept assigning static IP addresses from the DHCP pool.

 

It is possible, after those static IP are assigned, to modify the range of the DHCP pool.
