Can't change DHCP pool start range on Segemcom 5364

[gerardozabala]

Hi there!

I am trying to change the range of IP addresses the Segemcom will assign via DHCP but the dashboard wont let me. I go to Talktalk WIFI hub settings, DHCP, and then modify the IPv4 pool start number. It says invalid IP address. Any ideas why? I want to use another router as a secondary router or slave router upstairs and in order to do that i need to reserve a few IP addresses to the slave one. Thanks.

Hi gerardozabala,

Sorry, I don't know why it's saying invalid IP address. I'll ask our product team if they can help

Hi gerardozabala,

I've received an update from our product team. They say that this is a bug and it's been resolved in the very latest firmware version that's currently in testing. There is a later firmware version available than the one you have, would you like me to update your router (however I don't think this will resolve this issue)

Hi there,

Is there any news regarding the solution of this bug? Thanks.

Hi

I've updated the router firmware, try this now and see if it lets you make the change.

Thanks

Karl.

Not sure what version they uploaded to router. Please inform

I am trialing a version of firmware at moment.  Tried resetting dhpc pool and it worked ok on mine

Hi  skudwise 

Please can you create a new thread, we can then look into this further.

Thanks

I have tried it and it works. It lets me change the interval to suit my needs. Thanks a lot.

[gerardozabala]

Sorry it doesn't. The interface lets me change it from 192.168.1.10 to .35 but after saving or applying the new settings these are lost once you log in again.

Hi gerardozabala,

Just to confirm, did you just log out and back in again or did you also reboot the router?

Chris

[gerardozabala]

Log out and back in again.

[gerardozabala]

I have again changed the values, applied the changes by pressing "apply" and then I have gone to maintenance and rebooted the router. Changes are not saved.

[OCE_Chris]

OK thanks. Could you give this another try and let us know if the same thing happens. If it does I'll let our product team know

Thanks

I have tried different things with no success . The router does not save the new settings and when you go back the same interval shows. 

[OCE_Chris]

Sorry but not sure what you mean by "interval", could you explain please

Is this fixed - I don't seem to be able to alter the range I set when I originally got the 5364 when it was first being trialed a fey years a go. I've recently upgraded the TT connection from copper-all-the-way-to-the-exchange to copper-to-cabiniet-then-fibre and as part of sorting out strange wifi problem (whereby router doesn't seem to dish out a static DNS setting to its DHCP clients) I've tried to reduce the DHCP range to stop at ...187 but it keeps going back to the original 192.168.53.170 - 192.168.53.189

I have a suspicion remote support did something (upgrade to firmware?) as a result of my phone message to them  saying internet wasn't working after the upgrade - but I found the problem independently, it was the 'Addressing Type' in Advanced->Internet Connectivity was blank but needed to be changed to DHCP.

Current firmware version I have appears to be
TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub
version SG4K10002600t
