I asked the technician about this while he was installing and he said that I just needed to run a Ethernet from the new BGW320 to my Asus. But until you cast away that confusion, you'll really be lost trying to understand IPV6 addresses.Hello, just got hooked up for 1000GB Fiber in our home and have a question about using with my Asus GT5300 router since it's a much beefier router than the BGW320. Even the name is confusing, as you initially think 4 means four bytes and 6 means six bytes. Only when I start noticing that my ssh connections and such suddenly start preferring the wifi ip addresses will I realise I made a mistake. It turns out it can take awhile for me to even notice, since both are also have the WIFI configured using dynamic addresses.

If I forget to update the networking configuration I will end-up with both using the same static IP address for LAN.
If an SD card is corrupt one one, I will clone it from the other.
For example, my Raspberry PI's have WIFI and LAN. Routers can have even stranger behaviours. A switch might cause only one to work, as it will likely decide which wire the device is plugged into, and suddenly the other device is not receiving anything. A hub will work fine, because it sends packets to all the devices plugged in. But if both are trying to communicate on the same port, then you run into conflicts. It it happens one device is ignoring the port the other device is using, things tend to work. When you have multiple devices using the same IP address you run into similar type issues. But so will every other device in the address space. So even the device attempting to use that address will still receive the packets sent to it. In that when you use such an address it is suppose to be interpreted as a broadcast all. Ironically, an IP address of 192,168.1.255 might still work even if your net mask is 255.255.255.0. If you are using a class A address, the maximum value you can assign to the last value is 254. And of course you have a reserved value for masks. You cannot store a number greater than 255 in value that will be transmitted and received in 8 bits. 999999999? Because I think the default range is like 2 to 200Īny legal IP address. Everything in my network is set to DHCP and I manage the IPs in the router. The IPs need to be static so that my Home Automation Hub can find them.
Thinking that the dhcp server would, upon brown out, power up, reboot, first assign these mac's their manually assigned ip, then, do all other random ips for rest of devices? Because I thought this is what my asus router did? When I manually applied ip to these devices, I went to asus settings, picked a client/mac address device and said you will be 192.168.1.200.

This works with devices that do not allow you to access manual IP settings, and it's a little safer in that the DHCP manager ensures that you aren't creating a conflict. It won't assign that IP address to any other device because the MAC address is unique. So when the DHCP manager sees a request to get an IP address from the device with that MAC address, it issues the pre-reserved IP address from its list. The other way is to assign a reserved IP address to the device within your DHCP auto-assigned range, usually by the device's MAC address. In that case you have to be able to access manual IP settings for the device, and it's up to you to ensure that there isn't a conflict with another device on the LAN. One way is to give it a set IP address within the LAN subnet range but outside the DHCP auto-assigned range. There are two different approaches to setting a fixed LAN IP address for a device.
