Question
How do I change the gateway's IP address?
Answer
NOTE: This article applies to the SURFboard Wi-Fi Cable Modems (G18, G20, G34, G36, G54). 

The 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 the 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.

  5. To configure the gateway's IP Address, tap one of the three IP addresses below the Configure Subnet section.  Tap the number in purple color to enter the gateway's LAN IP Address.
     
  6. Tap the numbers in purple to set the router's LAN IP address.

    NOTE: In this example, the third number is set to 50 changing the gateway's LAN IP address to 192.168.50.1.  The LAN IP address will always end with 1 and cannot be customized. 

     
  7. Under the DHCP Range section, leave the Starting IP and Ending IP at default unless custom configurations need to be set.
     
  8. Tap the Save Changes button.
