How to change subnet on 4GEE home router 192.168.8.1

Hi everyone,

 

I just got my router this morning but unable to find anywhere on the UI option to change the DHCP settings - apart from changing main subnet from 8 to 0, I need to assign static IP addresses to my servers and other devices at home.

Current UI version is WEBUI 10.0.5.2(W2SP2C1055)

 

Any idea how to enable/bypass that?

 

Thank you! 🙂

Assign static IPs you want to your devices on the devices themselves.

 

You did manage to to change the DHCP subnet to 192.168.0.x ? I didn't think you could on that router.

Nope, that's what I'm saying, I haven't managed to change the subnet nor tweak any DHCP settings and I'm asking how to do that or bypass/downgrade router's UI.


I cannot even log on to my devices right now as they were fixed to previously used configuration.

Did you have any success with this? I too have devices on my network that need to talk to each other with fixed IP addresses. Most of these  can only be set via DHCP (home automation kit in particular) which every router I’ve ever had before had allowed me to do. 😞

 

I’ve tried using my old Orbi router to manage the network with the 4GEE Home Router 2 just handling connectivity, but this causes double-NAT problems that break other stuff 😞

 

Ideas anyone?
