Hello,

Sorry if this was answered, but I searched and just can't find exactly what I am looking for, config-wise.  My purple device arrives today, and when I install it I would like to know what the DHCP IP range is coming out of the LAN port.  Basically when I flip my Orbi RBR20 from router to AP mode, I want to give it a fixed IP so I can always "find it" (or when I don't have DHCP source I can connect to it w/my PC by creating a network).  Anyway, I wasn't sure what the network would be presented when I fired up the purple thing, OR, if I can set it at startup.  

I am currently using the good old 192.168.1.x network space, and would probably hard code my mesh AP to 192.168.1.250 (easy to remember).  

Please let me know what the default wired IP range is on this device or if I set it at startup. (not the short range wifi address space,btw) - big thanks.

Dave

  When you set up your LAN, the IP address range will be random. You can change your IP address range after setup and reserve an IP Address for a device.

  Ah, gotcha!  Thanks for clearing this up.  Now I know why I couldn't find the "default" network for LAN1.  Makes a lot of sense.  

  Thanks
  Dave
