Title: 605L DHCP IP address 100 not working
Post by: Tumbledown on August 08, 2013, 01:40:18 AM
DHCP IP 192.168.0.100 address has stopped working.

I connect several devices and because 100 is the first in the configured range, the first device switched on is given this address. I can get round it by using a cable connection for the first device but have to make sure I switch the right device on first whenever I need to restart the IP service. I have tried to reconfigure my 605L to change the range eg starting at 50 rather than 100 but I get WAN - LAN subnet conflict error of I try to save any changes to the configuration. So I have 2 problems 1) why has IP 100 address stopped working and 2) why is there a WAN - LAN conflict. I cannot find any information about WAN addresses on my router. Grateful for any solutions.

Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.

Hi.

Thanks for quick reply.

The 605L Hardware version is A1.
The FW is V1.12.
My PC is connected by cable and it also has taken the 100 DHCP address for the wireless connection which I am not using. We have other devices which are all connected by wireless - all without a problem provided they do not use the 100 address. Anything using the 100 address does not work.
I am not sure what you mean by region but I am connected to an internet service in Spain near Alicante. The connection to the ISP is wireless (small sat dish) and I connect the 605L to a Grandstream router Model HT502 which is connected to the dish via phone internet splitter device.

I personally have never carried out a factory reset. The agent who fitted the system did have to change the 605L IP address to 192.168.0.2 as the Grandstream already used the .1 address - or so he said.

As a beginner at configuring routers I am a bit wary about a reset although I have copied screen prints of the settings and I have saved current gateway settings using the maintenance option. Obviously if there is some sort of conflict I am worried that I will not be able to change the settings if I carry out a reset - and system might stop working all together.

I have changed the time settings and activated ntp1 and also changed the network key without a problem - but this may have been before other problems appeared. Now I seem unable to save changes to DHCP range due to LAN WAN subnet conflict and anyway this might not be the solution to the 100 address not working.

I can try upgrading the Firmware to V14 but I have also seen advice in the Forum that one should carry out a factory reset before and after installing the new firmware. Is this correct?

It would be good to solve the DHCP 100 problem as this is a holiday home and we frequently switch off both routers and suspend the service. If we only have wireless devices with us the first one to connect will never work via our internet service.

Thanks for your help.

PS I have also e-mailed our internet service provider but no response!

You can set up Device IP reservations so if there actually is a problem with .100 IP address, you can just set your devcies to not to use that and use a different address. You can follow this where it shows you how to reserve IP addresses:
