Not as successful as I had hoped! The settings now are as follows:
Start IP address: 192.168.1.50 IP Pool counts: 50 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway IP Address (Router): 192.168.1.1 The start IP address was 192.168.1.10 All my DHCP machines are still being given IP address below .50 and above .10 i.e. no change. Some have been turned off, iPad I did a renew lease, and I turned off WiFi on phone on a couple of occasions all to no avail. I did reboot the router, but does it need to be turned off, left for a bit and restarted? Any ideas. This is not a show stopper, but I would love to know how to achieve this.
