Akic Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi all, just ordered an R1after reading up on it and have high hopes for it curing the godawful lag in AW for me. Just a quick question regarding the device's IP address. I see a lot of talk on the forums regarding a .88.xx subnet on the device, am I correct in thinking this is the subnet the device uses on the LAN ports and if so is this configurable to another subnet? Reasom I ask is I have a rather complex network setup at home due to having SKY fibre and its garbage SAGEM POS router so am already double NAT'd and I was hoping I could configure the R1 to use the 192.168.1.x subnet which the rest of my LAN uses. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Akic, Thanks for purchasing You can change the subnet, but you can't achieve what you want I'm afraid. The R1 is a router so it must router traffics between two different networks, setting it to 192.168.1.x like the other router will not work, it will just make the duma very confused.

Buds Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Akic I don't think you can do that. But we have other sky users here so perhaps they can help out with their setup for comparison. Good luck Edit: Iain beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick reply guys. As long as I can change the subnet I'm good, I'm not looking to route to the same subnet (of course that can't be done without routing tables) I just wanted to hook up the LAN ports to the existing subnet so I don't have to reconfigure all my devices IP addresses. (i'm old school networking, fixed IPs for everything ) Looking forward to my delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sorry didnt mean to be patronising. Yes you can change the subbet but only to 192.168.x.1/24, which I think is fine in your case as you want 192.168.1.1/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Didn't take it as patronising, there are users of all skill levels on here, easy to mistake my question for something else. 192.168.1.1/24 is exactly what I'm after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raaaaawl Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If your connection is playing up with sky as mine always does try using a different DNS some you won't have any problems on with lag+hit reg others you will (I think this should be helpful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition: "The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address." Basically, DNS is what turns bbc.co.uk into 212.58.244.XX etc But having said that, if you feel it is helping then it certainly doesn't hurt. Many a placebo has cured ills in their day.

Having a good DNS server definitely helps with day to day browsing though so worth doing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, can make a massive difference to web browsing (and usually does if you are just using ISP DNS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
