| Question on 2wire Gateway
Hi
A while back i was on the phone with Tier 1 support with at&t discussing things, and they told me to set my lan ip back to 192.168.1 type thing, i had it on 10.0.0.X type before that...would that matter with stability or any issues? Just curious on that matter, i should've asked on this sooner actually |

| Should make no difference as long as you know proper private LAN IP ranges, other than ease of troubleshooting if you have to ask them and they follow their scripts. I am using a 172.16.x.x range. The entire 10.x.x.x range is private, but active range depends upon netmask. |

| Well didn't have to ask them then, the tech asked which ip range i was using, then he goes oh always use 192.1.168 (not sure why he said that) but that's when i switched it back, think was saying it could cause connection issues, since it was connection issue i was calling on that time.
Ended up being work was being done on the Remote Terminal, and didn't really even need to call |

It won't make any difference at all....both 192.168.0.0 and 10.0.0.0 are reserved for private Ip's by RFC 1918 so they both work equally fine.
It's really just a personal choice. |
