Post by: ilcaccillo on August 14, 2018, 05:05:38 PM
Hi,

An error message apperars "The network id of LAN-1 is the same with LAN-2"

Why is the error happening?
Any workarounds?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

Does the router work with default IP address settings?
Do you have this router behind another router? You can't have the same IP address string and subnet if another router or modem is using the same.

Yes.
The problem is just that I need to set it up with a static IP with submask 255.255.0.0 instead of the standard 255.255.255.0 and it doens't allow me to do so.
I can do this in all my other routers from other brands.
More people have reported this problems in D-link Routers

No.
The Router is connected straight with an ethernet cable to my computer

If your using 255.255.0.0, this is a Class B subnet, not a class C. So your IP address needs to be in a 172.16.0.x range. Try this and see if this works...
192 IP address range is in a class C network that carries 255.255.255.0 thru 255.248 subnets.
Use a online subnet calculator for getting subnet and IP values.
