What should my router IP address be?

I had my Airport Extreme router running my wireless network and the IP address was 192.168.1.1.
Then I reset everything and deleted the old network and created a new one with the same name.
It seems to be working fine but now the router IP address shows 10.0.1.1.
Why did it change and should it be 192.168.1.1 like before?
I have 3 Mac computers, an iPad and an Airport Express and they all now have IP addresses starting with 10.0.1.
Why is this happening?
Thanks
Len

The default IP address of all the Apple routers is 10.0.1.1, so if you reset the device or the settings back to defaults, this is the setting that you will see.
The 10.0.1.x range works just fine. There's no particular reason for it to be 192.168.1.1 unless you happen to like that number better. There's no performance advantage to either the 10.0.x.x or 192.168.x.x range.
Your next question may be how to change back to 192.168.1.1.
Open Airport Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the DHCP tab below the icons
Locate the setting for DHCP Beginning Address and change this to 192.168
Click Update at the lower right to save your settings
You'll need to power cycle your entire network now.

  • What is a router address

    and how do i find it??

    Depending on your configuration, including router, settings,
    and other hardware present, you may not need to input all
    the IP settings; the internet provider's equipment often does it.
    In your System Preferences> Network> you have to be sure
    the means of going online is selected (by checkbox) and it
    is dragged to the top of a list of possible ways to go online.
    If you have a wireless internet card in the computer, the
    AirPort item needs to be checked and given priority over
    the others; and if you use Ethernet cable directly, then the
    Ethernet item needs to be checked and given priority. More
    than one can be checked, but efficiency indicates using one.
    In OS X versions earlier than Tiger 10.5.x/10.4.x, the system's
    preference panels may be named and laid out differently, so
    this is a minor inconvenience in setting up internet access.

    Which OS X version do you have, and does the router
    support the computer you have? A newer router may
    also need to be configured to work with an older 802.x
    b/ wireless protocol, since the newer routers often also
    support 802.11/n/g and may need to be configured by
    wire (ethernet) if you can't do anything with the wireless.
    A general search gives clues about a router and address.
    ' Mac OS X what is router address ' - google results:
    I see some definitive results relevant to 'Mac OS X' in the
    above, a more generic search would not include that name
    in the search and then would cover all kinds of router info.
    Your computer's Help in the Finder menu bar should also
    list some items relevant to your computer's setup info.
    Hopefully this helps you somewhat...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Receiving message: "another device on the network is using your computer's IP address"; what should I do?

    In the last two days I have received this message on my iMac:  "Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address..."  What should I do?

    There are a lot of ways this can occur, but most common is from having devices setup and on a router for a long time and then adding devices and cycling the router.  Devices that do not power cycle retain the old IP address.  You can shutdown all devices, then power down the router, disconnect power so it is truly shut down, wait about five minutes then power up the router.  Give it a couple minutes to capture a new IP address, then one-by-one power up the devices giving each a couple minutes to capture an address.  That should then have all devices with unique addresses.

  • How do i hook a wired router to a wired router and what should I buy?

    I want to maintain a PC on a wired network near my cable modem and add a wireless accees point or router remotely to cover an area outdoors.
    Application isn't fancy, just plain vanilla internet access. Ease of setup, reasonable cost, reliable connections and security are the goals.
    What should I buy for each component and how do I set the network up?
    Thank you!

    Instead of an Access Point you could also go for a strong N- draft router(like WRT310N, WRT320N. WRT350N, WRT400N) as you want to place a wireless device about 100' away to cover outside(all the above router's should give you more than 100' feet of range)...Also you will get additional 4 ethernet ports to connect 4 devices hardwired to the router...
    You should connect your existing router from Ethernet port 1 to the new router on it's Internet Port...Access the new router's  web interface and change it's LAN IP Address to 10.10.10.1 and Power cyle the new router, it should be configured...

  • Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

    Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
    My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
    What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
    Many thanks

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    Hi I've been wanting to reset my security questions but I don't have a rescue email address what should I do?

    HI,
    Get a secondary email from a service like Google or Yahoo  (something that is not going to disappear like an ISP one might if you change services).
    Add it to the Apple ID page.

    Send her here:

    Simple fact is, if she can't remember this info, you won't be able to re-activate the phone, it will be a useless for anything other than a paperweight. Called Activation Lock.
    Apple can't/won't help you with this.

  • When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

    When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

    Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere.  Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder.  Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
    Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
    If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

  • HT5312 I want to delete my rescue email address, but I can't remember the answers to my security questions. What should I do?

    I wish to delete and change my rescue email address as I no longer have access to it, however I cannot remember the answers to my security questions and thus cannot change or delete my rescue email address. What should I do?

    To change the questions and answers call your country support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

  • I've can't sync my ipad and Imac because I've registered different email addresses with each. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought an Ipad2 and wanted to use Pages on it - which I bought when I got my Imac a year before. However, because I've registered different email addresses with each device, I can't get these devices to recognise that I own them both. What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I highly recommend having a single account.  Choose one or the other and make all future purchases on that.  With one account you can share apps between a certain number of devices, but with separate accounts you have to buy multiple copies of what you want.
    Also, Pages for the computer and Pages for iOS are different programs.
