1. How do I find out what's in the router pool?
Open 192.168.0.1 in web browser, login, find LAN DHCP section.
2. The way everything was set up 5 years ago, all the ip addresses were between 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.29. Everything on the net had a static ip. [I had a maven telling me how to do that.] It seems that the automatic assignments now are 192.168.0.100 .101 .102, etc. I would like to set all the items (2 desktops, 2 laptops, 2 printers) to static ips once again--only one of the laptops and the Epson are original components. Can the lower numbers between .10 and .29 be used now, or must they all be greater than .100?
You're free to designate the beginning and ending addresses of the pool if your router is like most cheap routers. My own pool has a size of only 21 addresses, as all my machines except for one laptop are on static IP assignments. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
