Question

How do I change the LAN IP address of the SBG7600AC2 gateway?

Answer

The SBG7600AC2 gateway's IP address is used for accessing the Web Manager, and the DHCP server assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254) to 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. The default IP address of the SBG7600AC2 is 192.168.0.1. This document describes how to change the Gateway's IP Address.

NOTE: A security or private risk alert may appear on the web browser advising users to proceed with caution when accessing the Web Manager. There is no risk in proceeding to the Web Manager. For instructions to by-pass the alert screen, refer to article # 18181 - Alert Message for Web Manager Access.
On the Login page, enter admin in the User Name field.

Enter the start IP address in the Start IP Address field.
