    New Router

    After getting a new Rogers Ignite router it has a different local ip range of 10.0xxx vs the old one of 192.168xxx. The old router is gone. The new router cannot see some of my devices in particular a Hikvision camera with default ip of 192.168.0.64.
    If I go into the new router settings I can change the ip range to the 192…range and then hopfully see it ( camera), change its ip to the 10.0 range and then change the router’s range back to the 10.0 range.
    I am not sure as to 1) do I change the gateway address of the router to 192.168.0.1 or leave it at 10.0.0.1
    2) If I change the dhcp range from the current 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.253 to 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254 will I still be able to connect to the internet? And then if I see the camera in the range and change its ip address, can I then just change the routers range back without connectivity issues.
    I have tried sadp and ajdev tools and they do not see the camera either
    Any help would be appreciated

    Leave alone.

    Access each device and look for the SSID and connect to the new router.

    Probably not there is no telling what that may do yet there is always a chance that it may work for a short time than brick the router later down the road.

      Problem is I can’t access the device to look for the ssid since the device is not in the routers current range

        The router is what β€œhands out/distributes” the IP addresses not the other way around.

        The devices that aren’t connected to the router simply need to be reconnected via whatever interface you used to connect them to the old router.

        I currently own some cameras I’ve installed in the past had to be factory reset and go through the setup process when I switched routers.

          Then you will have to wait until you are in range to do this.

          @xrobwx71 that is what figured have to do the same with some printers as well.

          Until the user has it in range not much we can do in assisting them getting it connected and configured properly.
