It's working as long as it starts with 192.168, without a reboot even.. If I use 172.16 , there is no listener on the gateway ex. 172.16.1.1 .. No port 53, no 443, no ping response. I tried a reboot, it doesn't help. My modem assigns the public internet IP and doesn't create a private lan, but...

OK I tried 172.16.X.X and it didn't work. Switched back to 192.168.100.1 and it works right away. The EdgeRouter does something behind the scenes when changing the IP on an interface, which it doesn't do for other IP Ranges unfortunately.. In the initial firmware it didn't do it even for...

Ok I figured it out.. 192.167 is not a locally reserved range, so this makes sense. The TPLink ER605 doesn't seem to care about that.

The Edgerouter comes set up with 192.168.1.1 , and the GUI listens to that IP. Any 192.168.X.X that I use for the interfaces(eth1,2,3,4) gets listened to automatically by the GUI. If I change the interfaces to 192.167.X.X then the GUI doesn't listen to those automatically though. How can I get...

Sounds like it would do for isolating vlans, for the short term anyway. I will order one to try..

ERX is very cheap on Amazon and can run OpenWrt although I am having trouble trusting OpenWrt. I may have compromised devices on the LAN, and attacks from the WAN side. I need to separate them from each other and I will use firewall rules to block them from accessing any open router ports. Would...

I'm looking for a good secure standalone router, would Ubiquiti Edgerouter ER-X be a good choice? I need it to front face the Internet, and separate VLANs. Is it ideal to place another firewall in front of it? I could learn pfsense or opnsense, I'm a programmer. I've been using old Asus routers...
