[General] change default DSL IP address from 196.168.1.64

Is it possible to change the default DSL modem ip address from 192.168.1.x to another subnet?

That really depends on which "modem" you have. With some of the newer SBC inspired brain dead "modems", that is difficult to impossible.

The AT&T Store description differs in some ways from the Netgear site description. I know AT&T dumbed down the SpeedStreams; maybe this one too?

If you have an AT&T branded 6200, then I think you are not going to be able to change the LAN IP subnet. If I am mistaken about the AT&T version capabilities, I suspect that someone who is familiar with that particular box will probably correct my statement. If you are wanting to change the LAN IP subnet because you plan to connect it to another (better) router, you may want to consider putting the 6200 into bridge mode and doing the PPPoE authentication on the other router. Here is an old DSLR thread about putting the 6200 into bridge mode: »[Modem] Westell 6200 modem (its private LAN IP address will still be 192.168.1.254, but the PPPoE client in the other router will not use an IP address to access the 6200).

If you have a generic Netgear 6200, you can download the user manual from »www.downloads.netgear.co ··· ct08.pdf and the information you want is in the LAN IP Setup section.

I am pretty sure that the AT&T Netgear 6200 has the same SBC inspired brain dead user interface they put into the Motorola 2210-02-1022 that does not allow changing the LAN IP subnet, and will only supply a single DHCP address of 192.168.1.64.
