IP conflict! ?Change wifi router's LAN IP to 192.168.1.2.
Clean up your IP addresses. ?Use the following scheme:
192.168.1.1-9 for network appliances (DSL/Wifi router, switches, VPN server)
192.168.1.10-19 for network printers, scanners, etc
192.168.1.20-49 for servers
192.168.1.50-99 for static IP assignment
192.168.1.100-199 for DHCP assignment
192.168.1.250-254 for testing/temporary assignment
If you have 2 DHCP servers, split the DHCP scope accordingly
eg. 192.168.100-149 on DHCP server 1 and rest on the other
DHCP server. ?But ensure default gateway assignment is always
set correctly to 192.168.1.1.
Thanks for the advice, Raja. I've since replaced the two devices with
another single device that does both functions. However, I didn't think
of assigning the IP addresses in the way you've described.
Your method does seem overly comprehensive for a home network but I'll
follow it because it seems carefully thought out.
