Hi,

If you change the IP class (coming from your mask 255.255.255.0), you have to reset your client adapter in order to give it a corresponding IP address...

Do you have marked "obtain an ip address automatically" in network card configuration?

yes I have marked obtain an ip address automatically. and I can ONLY change the router gateway to 192.168.1.2 (by enabling option "enable 2nd gateway address"

so my main gateway : 192.168.1.1
my 2nd gateway (optional) : 192.168.1.2

My objective is to change the main gateway to .0.1 ,afterall it doesn't seem to work, as I try to change to .0.1, and reaccess thru .1.2
modem seems like stuck& hang, and I have to do manual reset in order to reset It back to factory setting.


(I am using factory setting version, I never managed to get It connect to internet and update the version)
