Have you released the DHCP leases on the devices?
I recently installed the new Huawai telecom generic modem, but am having all sorts of issues with IP being assigned within the network. The default IP configuration for the new modem is 192.168.1.254. When it came out, the IP range was 192.168.1.40 and upwards (why it started from .40 I don't know?).Previously, my modem was 192.168.0.1 and IPs started from .2. So, rather than set up a new network, I kept the same SSID and everything seemed to work. But there started to be some issues with the assumed IP addresses from the devices, all of a sudden they were operating off the 192.168.0.1 configuration. So I manually changed the IP to add the "1" in instead of the "0" and it worked. So I got sick of doing that, so I created a new SSID (rather than the old one), the devices STILL try and work off the 192.168.0.1 configuration. Now as far as the computer/apple tv/iphone/samsung galaxys are concerned, it should be a new network, yet all of them keep shitting out and unable to get internet access due to the IP issues. Which leads me to believe it must be a wifi router issue. In fact, come to think of it, I had the same problem over cat5.wtf - anyone heard of this??I am considering changing the network on the moment to utilise the 192.168.0.1 configuration instead. It just seems a little odd that I should have to do this.

It just seems a little odd that I should have to do this.the reason for starting at .40 instead of .2 is so you have a range that you can have statically assigned IP devices (like IP phones, Printers etc.)Anyways- if they are anything like the Thomson ones, you will probably have to do this via CLI, (see if there is a CLI guide) the problem is that the DHCP service won't be configured to hand out IPs in the 192.168.0.0/24 range - its still handing out addresses in the default 192.168.1.0/24 range, whereas the device will be configured on 192.168.0.1.Could probably figure it out - if you send me the model number of the Huawai modem, will have a nose
Sounds awfully like two DHCP servers on the same network giving out different address ranges. If your previous modem/router is still plugged into the network you will need to turn off the DHCP server on it.
How else would you do it? I could get a 4 port power line adapter, but that's additional cost.It's quite neat in think. Upstairs, wifi, downstairs 4 port router with 3 ethernet devices.
does it make much of a difference though? Is it possible just to switch off all the features on the router? I'm getting good download speeds (32Mbps down and 9-10Mbps up with VDSL). There is a little bit of not wanting to spend any money on it, but also just having stuff lying around. Now I've sorted the DHCP and turned off most features on the modem/router, it seems to be working fine. edit - ok, I have just seen the benefits of a switch. I'll sell the router which still retails for about $300 and swap it out... that'll shut me up.
