Changing DHCP Network Range

alexkempshall — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:36:55 GMT

I used to have a NetGear hub which used the network 192.168.0.x

I have a BT Business hub which is using network 192.168.1.x but still have two printers which have hard coded ip addresses of 192.168.0.60 and 192.168.0.107 which I now can't connect to. These printers are hired and I haven't got the authority to change the network addresses. Though I am about to seek the suppliers advice.

if I log on to the BT business hub then follow

Settings -> Lan -> Private Network

the hub has these settings where the DHCP Server Enabled CheckBox is ticked.

DHCP Server Enabled

DHCP Network Range

192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 (default)
172.16.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
10.0.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
Configure manually

How can I change my Business hub so that it can see the two networked printers.

I've tried to configure it manually which it seems to accept but then the network drops and I cannot then connect to the internet, the hub let alone the printers. I then have to rest the buiness hub to get the internet back. Therefor back to where I started from.

How do I proceed?

The textboxes for manual configuration are -

Router Address:
Subnet Mask:
First DHCP Address:
Last DHCP Address:

If I follow -

Settings -> Lan -> NAT & Address Allocation

I see that it's configured to allocate addresses from the Private from pool: 192.168.1.0

I've not changed this at all.

Well, I've managed to now connect the two network printers by changing their hard coded ip addresses.

It would still be nice to know how to re-configure the router. Not a pressing issue now.

Thanks
