ymyinfinity Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Hi all, Tried a search and didn't find anything Came in possession of an XR500 recently, hoping to replace my T-mobile / ASUS router. I wanted my IP range to span 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.254 Changed subnet mask to 255.255.254.0 Applied, rebooted, IP range still only supports 254 devices Does the router support ip ranges beyond the final octet?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 16 Administrators Share Posted August 16 I can't say for certain, the Settings are NGs domain but I doubt it will work and I've never seen anyone do so either. You'd need to use the two routers I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Networking standards for IPv4 don't allow for this. Especially not a home class routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this info. Based on what you said, I was able to ascertain the XR500 (and many other consumer grade routers) fall under the class C category and only allow subnetting of the last octet? If the above is correct, can you let me know where I can read more about these networking standards, and if there is a good reference for recommended routers that fall within each class? On a slightly related note, can the XR500 handle more than 254 active devices at a time (e.g. a home with many IoT devices)? thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e38BimmerFN Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 That would be correct. There are many online resources for IPv4 and subnetting standards online. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
