I have an Asus RT 68u router with the latest from our code on it. I noticed when I reboot the router and the logs I see the following messages relating to DHCP.

19:45:24 dnsmasq-dhcp[1233]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.102.2 -- 192.168.102.254, lease time 1d
Jul 31 19:45:24 dnsmasq-dhcp[1233]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.101.2 -- 192.168.101.254, lease time 1d
Jul 31 19:45:24 dnsmasq-dhcp[1233]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.1.100 -- 192.168.1.199, lease time 1d

I'm not sure why all the other ranges are listed. But the only range that I use and have set up is 192.168.1.x. Why would the other ranges show up?
Thank you for your help.
 
Bring back this thread.
I dont have guest networks enabled.
However, if enabled, I've used Yazfi with two different ranges.
However those two ranges are always there. why?

A bit of an explanation here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/yazfi-v4-x-continued.83846/post-831243
Any references to IP addresses "192.168.101.*" & "192.168.102.*" are due to the interfaces "br1" & "br2" being declared in the "/tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf" file for the built-in 2.4GHz & 5GHz Guest Networks #1, respectively.

Note that those system log msgs you see will be there regardless of whether those built-in Guest Networks are disabled or enabled.
Asus firmware treats Guest Network #1 (likely for AiMesh use) differently and that is likely why you are seeing those two IP address ranges (.101.* and .102.*). Typically when using YazFi it is a good idea to use Guest Network 2 and 3 and avoid using Guest Network 1 because Asus treats Guest Network 1 differently.

Thanks!

So, even if I have GN1 disabled, the dhcp-range will be always set?
EDIT - Yes is the answer. Thanks once again
