I have a very basic network configuration at home.
My ISP (Shaw) provides me with 2 WAN IPs and a modem called Hitron CGNM-2250. The modem runs in so called IP Passthgough mode where one IP is used by the modem itself (Hitron is a modem/router) and another is passed straight to the one of 4 Hitron Ethernet ports at the back of the modem. My router - Asus AC66U_B1 is connected to that port, so it gets different WAN IP from the one used by the modem. I’m using very basic router features – no port forwarding or VPN.
The router LAN IP is set to 10.xxx.xxx.52, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the DHCP range is 10.xxx.xxx.71 – 171 and of course, all the devices connected to the router are getting their DHCP IP addresses in that range.
That is – all but two. I have two identical very basic Lenovo tablets that are getting their LAN IPs in the 192.168.xxx.xxx subnet range instead of 10.xxx.xxx.xxxx? How is this possible?
Thanks a lot.
