5g. router address 192.168.9.1

petevick — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 21:09:45 GMT

Just come back from holiday and seeing some weird network issues. When I eventually worked it out, the default router address had changed from 192.168.8.1 to 192.168.9.1

This upset the SkyQ box, which didn't record anything due to 'power failure'. I have some devices that have a fixed IP so I always know where they are.

According the Three earlier today - this can never happen.

I know resetting it would probably take me back, but ideally I would like to know how it happened - even though it is 'not possible'.

Anyone seen anything like this in the past?

Thanks

Hi Pete,

That's a new one to me. I'm making some enquiries to see if we can get any advice/explanation on this one. Is the router still on this new IP, or did it revert back, or did you reset the router in the end?

Hey Pete,

One other question on this. Which model of router is this? A tech specialist has confirmed this definitely isn't expected behaviour, and not a change we would trigger from the network. If we know which router did this, we might be able to look into it further.

This has happened to me today. I can't seem to force it back either. In advanced settings I revert it back to .8 but upon restarting it goes to .9

Device name: H122-373

Hello.

Devices are given an IP address by the DHCP service on the Hub, it seems strange that it would just start using another range of addresses.

Have all your devices been assigned a new address with the 9? Or just certain ones?

Pete.

I suspect this is to do with the merger it was the same with virgin and 02 when they merged thats why i left i suspect thats why there is an ip change and its not for the better if like me you play online gams in a truck or mobile i would stay away ffrom EE as they dont do peer to peer ips and you cant game online my hub is a dead dodo at the moment from being reliable and fast cannot evene access its admin features
