The SBG8300 gateway's default IP address 192.168.0.1 is used for accessing the Web Manager, and the DHCP server assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254) to client devices in the home network. The gateway's IP address can be customized to match the previous IP address scheme of the home network. When the gateway IP address is changed, the DHCP server assigns the new private IP addresses to the client devices in the home network. This document describes how to change the Gateway's IP Address.
