Changing Router IP while keeping default Gateway

Hello-  I have a Linksys WRT150N Wireless Router.  The default (out of the box) IP Address is 192.168.1.1, which is also the default Gateway.  I would like to know if it is possible to change the IP address to 192.168.1.2 while keeping the Gateway on 192.168.1.1.  The problem I run into is that when I do change the IP to 192.168.1.2, the Gateway also changes to that address.  I see it is possible under Automatic Configuration - DHCP  to change the IP and the Subnet Mask, but not the Gateway.  Any ideas?  Thank you

No it won't be possible for you to do the settings i.e., to change the ip address to 192.168.1.2...better keep in the same & do the settings.

  • How can I make Photoshop Cc 2014 my default. I have tried the get info route and it keeps defaulting to PS CS6

    I have tried to change the default PS to CC 1014 using "Get Info" changing it to PS CC 2014 and then "change all" And when I press continue it defaults back to PS CS6

  • WRT350N : how to specify the default gateway?

    Hello,
    I would like to use my wrt350n as a dhcp server, but want to specify another router as the default gateway.
    I have my wrt350n (192.168.1.254) and another modem/router (192.168.1.1). When a client connects to the wrt350n, it automatically receives as default gateway the adress of the wrt350 (192.3168.1.1). I would like to change that to reference the other adress 192.168.1.1.
    Thanks for your comments

    Hello,
    Thanks for your answer.
    I try to give you more information.
    The modem router (bbox2 : 192.168.1.1) is connected to an ethernet port on the WRT350 (192.168.1.254). I would like to desactivate the DHCP server on the bbox2 (because limited to 802.11g), and activate it on the wrt350, to have a wireless network in 802.11n. The problem when I do that, is at the dhcp server, the default gateway returns is always the ip adress of the wrt350 (so no internet access). Nevertheless, I have to specify the ip of the bbox (192.168.1.1) for the internet traffic. I don't find a way to change the value of the default gateway returns by the wrt350. I can set different values for DNS, but not for the gateway.
    Actually, I turn on the dhcp server on the bbox and turnoff it on the wrt350, but my wireless spped is limited to 54Mbits (802.11g), and this not annoying for surfing purpose, but annoying when streaming video from my san connected to the wrt350n.
    I don't know if it's clear now?
    Thanks for your feedback

  • The Default Gateway Is Not Available / Problem

    Hello, I recently purchased this HP Pavileon laptop, and I've been encountering this problem very often (every 2-10 minutes).  This problem is getting extremely frustrating as absolutely nobody has been able to provide a fix for this issue.
    When the laptop is on battery mode (this does not happen when plugged in); I commonly get disconnected from my wi-fi connection and to fix it, I must run the troubleshooter. This temporarily fixes the issue by resetting the wi-fi adapter.
    What I have tried and has not worked:
    * Turn off to save power option in the driver settings (in Device Manager) untickets
    * Updated drivers
    * New power plan
    * Tried different drivers
    * Complete system restore
    The wireless adapter is Realtek RTL 8188EE.  Upon running the troubleshooter, this is all the information from the detailed information section:

  • I tried to change my persona and firefox keeps defaulting to my old one before I updated my browser.Is there anyway to change this without uninstalling the whole browser? Because I'd like to keep all my bookmarks and such. Thanks

    I uninstalled all other personas besides the default and the one I want and it still goes back to the old persona unless I keep firefox on default. \The desired persona is a sports one and it keeps defaulting to a surfing one.

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Changing default gateway on sbs08

    Hello,
    I need to change the default gateway on my small business server 2008 from 192.168.1.207 to 192.168.1.208. The server is used for exchange 2007 and pretty much runs our network.
    My manager said this is a big job and I need to read up on DNS, MX records and changing SMTP server IP addresses but I cant see what else I would
    need to do. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Nuh,
    If you are just looking to change just the gateway IP address, then FOVIA is correct. Just run the Connect to Internet Wizard. For all intensive purposes, your gateway is your firewall or router. Ex. below.
    IP Address:   192.168.1.2  <-This is IP address for the server
    Subnet:       255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway:  192.168.1.207  <- This is the IP address for your gateway, the one that you need to change.
    Now, if you manager is asking you to change physically change the gateway(firewall/router) and reconfigfure it and the network, then this "big job" does make sense when dealing DNS, MX records and such. If not, then just run the wizard and you should be
    gold.

  • How can I change default Gateway

    I have been able to change the default gateway address with various routers from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1.  The purpose of changeing the gateway is I can connect via a VPN connection to my office.  I realized all the router on 1.1 wouldn't connect but all the router on 0.1 could.  I was with comcast before.
    Now I have several computers (mine and other employee's) who cannot connect to the VPN as they are with verizon and all are on 1.1.  The problem is, verizon won't help and they say we need advanced network help and their not willing to assist.
    Can anyone help me and does anyone know if it's possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Let me just throw in that I have an Actiontec router, not Westell, with FiOS, but I definitely have my router's IP set to 192.168.0.1.  DHCP range set to 192.168.0.100 thru .150.  All TV functions work, including remote DVR, mutl-room DVR, on-screen caller ID, and widgets.
    I haven't needed any Verizon tech support (knock on wood) but if I did, I'd reset to the default values and once tech support was done, restore using a saved config file.

  • Wrt54g router v 8.2 -no default gateway

    i have tried everything and this routher will not work!  I travel with it when i come home for the holidays and normaly i have to get some help from someone to figure out how to get the cpu to work along with the wireless.  at this point nothing is working.  the modem is a westell mo. 6100. all the lights are working and when i plug my laptop into the ethernet cord it works fine.    when the modem is pluged into the router and the ethernet cord is pluged from port one to the back of the cpu   the cpu says there is an issue with its ip address being the same as something elses.  the wireless ssid pops up and i can connect to it with my macbook but the internet does not work at all. I can connect to the router through 192.168.1.1 and have security setup etc.  imy mac address shows up in the dhcp clients list....  in the status tab everything looks normal except the default gateway is  all zeros.
    anybody have any idea what is happening?
    i would like to be able to get the net on the cpu as well as wireless at the same time but if i could just get the wireless to atleast work that would be great
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you are not able to see any Default gateway under the Status Tab, Because your Modem and Router Shares the Same IP address on the Network.... To make your Computers go Online from the Linksys Router... Login to the Linksys Router setup page and below the setup tab change the "Local IP address" to 192.168.2.1 and click on Save Settings... and then you need to Power Cycle your Network.....
    Unplug the Power from the Router and and Modem, wait for 30sec and then first plug the power to your Modem and once all the lights are lid on your Modem, then you can plug the power to the Linksys Router.. 
    Now check if you are able to go online from your computer Hardwired to the router. 

  • Best practice to change default gateway for HA-CAM

    Hi,
    The next week end, i will have a downtime to change it's HA-CAM's default gateway.
    My question is, how can i do that?.
    This change is not synchronized if i change only from an active cam (service Ip) o it does?
    I was thinking on stops services for standby cam, then connect to a service ip, change its default gateway to active cam, then stops services and start them for standby cam and so on...
    This is correct or this idea is wrong?
    Please, I need suggestions.
    Thanks for advance.

    If the user vlan is routed on a L3 device before going to either the MPLS router or the firewall you could use PBR on the L3 device (if supported).
    But as Reza says, we need more info on your network layout.

  • Changing Default Gateway in Zone

    I'm alittle confused and embaroused to even post this. But, is there a restriction on changing the default gateway within a Zone? I get told I don't have insufficient privileges if I do it via "route". I even tried using /etc/defaultrouter, but that had no effect. Am I hitting a restriction that I was unaware of?

    Local zones are not allowed to change the network
    configuration at all; that includes the interface
    configuration (ifconfig) and the routing table
    (route).
    If your local zone is on the same subnet as the global
    zone, they can use the same default route (configured
    in the global zone). If they're on different subnets,
    you can configure two default routes in the global
    zone, and each zone will use the correct gateway.
    We have an open RFE to be able to set default routes
    in the zone configuration. It's unlikely that it'll
    make it into Solaris 10 soon though.
    Hope this helps,
    BlaiseThis sounds like it's independent of zones. I.e. if I only have the global zone and I have eri0 with 192.168.1.5/24 and qfe0 with 10.1.1.10/24 and then have two default gateways 192.168.1.1 and 10.1.1.1, it will pick the appropriate default gateway based on the src ip address of the outbound packet?
    If so, is this a new feature in Solaris 10, or do you know if previous versions also have the same behavior? Unfortunately the current available documentation out on docs.sun.com is not very clear on this (and since Solaris 10 is in beta, that's understandable). I've actually run into a couple of situations where this would be quite useful, so it'd be nice to know if I have to wait for Solaris 10 to be released or if its something that can be done today (I have no place to test this unfortunately)

  • Computers connecting to internet via time capsule are reporting no internet connectivity.  PC is reporting default gateway has changed.  How to I correct this?

    Am having trouble with maintaining a stable wireless network via the Time Capsule.  Am running 1 Mac and 3 PC on a Time Capsule wireless in bridge mode connected to a Verizon wireless router.  Verizon wireless is turned off and the Time Capsule seems to be staying connected to the Verizon router.  When any of the connected computerss goes to stanby, they often report the internet is no longer available.  The PCs say the default gateway has changed ans the Mac simply reports the network parameters have changed.  What do I need to do to the Time Capsule to stabilize the wireless network?

    It is unlikely that the gateway changes.. but anything is possible.. sorry I am not in the US.. is your service adsl or cable?? What sort of lease time does the public IP have? Some cable companies now rotate then on the hour I noticed.. others on about 3months.. but most it is one day.
    Track it yourself.. see what gateway address the TC gets and if it is rotating with the IP.
    If your client computers are running Mountain Lion.. the plain fact is, they are not particularly stable.
    Wireless is worst.. ethernet tends to be ok.. but for instance Laptops updated to Mountain Lion can be pretty flakey.. with the TC.. and it is the combo that is more the issue. People report improvement with clean install of ML. BUT there is still a bug there that causes the ML to be less than fantastic.
    I experience it occasionally even with a dlink wireless router.. after a wake from sleep.. the network will drop out and need to be manually connected back.. I have to admit I expect no better from Mountain Lion. I could load Snow Leopard on it and it would drop once every blue moon.. but I got the laptop with ML so I live with it.. !!

  • FF keeps defaulting to the wrong HTTP proxy server and port. I have to change it every time I attempt to open Firefox? How do I change it for good?

    The manual proxy settings keep defaulting to the wrong HTTP and port. This has caused me many hours of anguish. It works fine when I correct the settings but after you log off and then come back it has to be changed again. Is there anyway to fix it? Or can I go back to the previous version because 4 definitely has some issues (other than this one). I could live with it if I had to but I'm not the only one who uses this computer and they don't know how to make the changes. Thanks and I would definitely appreciate an answer.

  • How to setup default gateway in a DHCP client. The default gateway will be the Ip address of the server that has RRAS installed, hence routing cabalities.

    How to setup default gateway in a DHCP client. The default gateway will be the Ip address of the server that has RRAS installed, hence routing cabalities.

    Hi Bill,
    Thank you for replying back...Yes, I was actually asking how do you set the default gateway address on the DHCP server?,
    I believe I got the answer below:
    To configure the DHCP default gateway option Click Start, point to Administrative Tools and then click DHCP. In the console tree, expand the applicable DHCP server, expand IPv4, and then right-click Scope Options Click Configure Options, check 003
    Router, type the applicable Server name and IP address, and then click OK.
    Thank you

    Fix your network configuration in vmware. After that a "ipconfig /renew *" or a reboot should obtain a new working lease including the default gateway. Make sure vmware does not use the 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 subnet for it's network adapters.
