Question
How do I change the SBR-AC1200P's LAN IP address?
Answer
The SBR-AC1200P also includes configurable options for the Local Area Network (LAN).  The router's LAN IP Address and DHCP range can be configured and modified to suit the needs of the network.  By default, the LAN IP address of the SBR-AC1200P is 192.168.0.1.  This document contains the following sections:  
NOTE 1: If the LAN IP address is modified to be in a different subnet (e.g. 192.168.8.1), the SBR-AC1200P will automatically change the DHCP range to use addresses in that subnet.
 
NOTE 2: The subnet mask of the SBR-AC1200P (255.255.255.0) cannot be modified.

    10.0.x.x - 10.254.x.x
    172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x
    192.168.1.x - 192.168.254.x (192.168.5.x and 192.168.51.x - 192.168.53.x are not available to use because it is reserved for Wi-Fi Guest network)​

  6. On the Basic - DHCP page, determine the best scenario for the Enabled DHCP Server option:
    • If it is desired to have the SBR-AC1200P assign IP addresses to the client devices, leave this setting checked.
    • If some devices are manually configured with IP addresses, but others are to receive an address from the SBR-AC1200P, leave this setting checked.
    • If there is another device on the network that will be the DHCP server, uncheck this setting.
    • If it is desired to manually configure each device with an IP address, uncheck this setting.
  7. Enter the first IP address to be used in the DHCP range in the Starting Local Address field or leave at default.
     
  8. Enter the last IP address to be used in the DHCP range in the Max Number of Network Devices field or leave at default.
     
  9. Enter the amount of seconds that a device will keep an IP address in the Lease Time field, if that device has received an IP address automatically from the SBR-AC1200P or leave at default.
