IP address for EE router gateway after changing default address allocation

amlangford — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 10:53:41 GMT

Hi,

I just had to change the default IP address allocation on my router as DHCP was allocating addresses on my local network that were conflicting with address of equipment on my work network, accessed via VPN.

I selected the alternate address range in the router manager, starting with 172. but I didn't note down the range before applying.

The change has resolved the problem for me, but I have a slight snag in that I no longer know what the IP address is for my router gateway, in order to access the router manager. Previously is was 192.168.1.254 but this has now changed.

Can anyone suggest how I can find out what the new address is?

Thanks in advance

In a PC connected to it run ipconfig & look up the Default Gateway.
