Many thanks for your replies.
As far as I know you can change the ST585 IP address and DHCP range quite easily. Go to its web interface and select Home Network --> Interfaces --> Local Network, then click on 'Configure'. On this screen you can edit the IP address and the DHCP pool ranges. In your case you would change the IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the DHCP pool to 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254.
This is based on the ST576 which I use, and I believe that all ST routers use a very similar web interface.
Many thanks for that info roseway, as well as the intructions you have given as to how to effect that change .
Firstly may I ask is there any reason why youre not going for a router with a TMMB or ALCB chipset if youre trying to achieve router/ dslam compatability?
To be honest I have read quite a few post about the ST585v6 and it seems to perform well with many users reporting no issues with Alcatel DSLAM chipsets. In the first instance, I wanted to try a router without the TI AR7 (which I have) and which has been the topic of much discussion.
You should have no problems changing the Netgear's default range.
Well worse case scenario if the ST585 is different to the ST575 in that the IP address range cannot be changed then I can tinker with the DG834Gv2.
Dont forget you will need to turn DHCP off on at least one of the routers, (or both the routers and assign IP addresses manually on the PCs) for what you are trying to do to work.
Noted. DHCP in my DG834Gv2 which is acting purely as a WAP is turned off.
I will let you know how I get on once I get my hands on an ST585v6
Many thanks for the info guys.
Cheers
