Re: Gen4 on home network

Just curious about the IP block you showed (100.73.32.19/255.255.255.248).

Are they actually using a .248 mask on the LAN side instead of a .0?

Yep, they are.

IPv4 address 100.73.51.178
Subnet mask IPv4 255.255.255.248

Interesting. Can other Gen4 users reading here tell us whether they have a .248 mask?

That mask can only provide DHCP for 5 devices, although obviously putting it though a router opens up any number of possibilities.

Additionally, using 100.73, which is part of a special purpose reserved block almost implies that they expect to allow port forwarding at some point. Hard to see why they otherwise wouldn't have used 192.168 again, or 10. something.

yep.. 255.255.255.248

I wonder what the Business Class customers will have when they roll out those packages?
