Assigned addresses can be swapped over time.

These addresses may be reassigned to a new equipment that connects to the online grid.

192.168.1.101 is a private (also callednon-routable) IP address.

The home connection administrator uses a PC to set up the router and home connection.

The router assigns IP address 192.168.1.100 to the PC.

A second PC is added to the internet.

This PC receives the 192.168.1.101 address.

A game console then joins the online grid.

It receives 192.168.1.102 as its address.

A phone connects to the router using Wi-Fi, receiving 192.168.1.103 as its web link address.

To set up a router for this specific range:

sign in to the router as an administrator.

Find the router’s IP and DHCP prefs.

The location of these can vary depending on the router, but they are often in a Setup menu.

Set the router’s local IP address to 192.168.1.1 or another address in the 192.168.1.x range.

Set the DHCP starting IP address to 192.168.1.x+1.
