I intend to give the FTTC a week (10 days?) to settle

Why 10 days to settle?

Probably because that, unfortunately, is still what most ISPs are telling their customers.

I used 192.168.1.2 and it worked fine.

I was very surprised when it didnt work on 192.168.1.19 but then following the instructions to use 192.168.1.100 it did.

Since I wasnt going to do it again to prove absolutely I made the assumption that the statement in instructions was correct.

Still dont know why it wouldnt work on 192.168.1.19 but not really bothered

192.168.1.1 is considered the default IP for the majority of home high-speed wireless routers. It has been initially applied by Linksys although has been seen used in several other home network products just like the ones made by Netgear as well as Westell to mention a few.



Even though www.192.168.1.1 stands out as the default ip for a lot of high-speed modems, it doesn't essentially need to be. A number of production facilities set the default IP to 192.168.1.1 to be able to publicize a far more standard processing natural environment and to make it simpler for very first time clients to arrange their own networking systems easily and quickly.



May only Linksys and various other wireless routers operate using the 192.168.1.1 IP address?



Basically no, given that 192.168.1.1 can be described as non-public IPv4 address, any type of personal computer, modem, switch, and other web-based system could be set up to employ this unique IP. Having said that, it isn't generally advised seeing as there are lots of products which default to 192-168-1-1 default IP of which connections complications could appear later on from many different units employing the same IP address. Additionally it is very important to try to remember that just one single network equipment might have one Ip, in case you possess various units using 192.168.1.1, just about one ought to be adjusted to another location.

If you check the Netgear 834 series you will find they are 192.168.0.1. I can't vouch for other Netgears.

Thomson Speedtouch (BeBox) 192.168.0.1 so far as I know. But the O2 box uses 192.168.1.254.

My Buffalo Airstation is 192.168.11.1.

BT Home Hub is 192.168.1.254 I think.

The Billion 7800N (can't speak for other versions) also defaults to 192.168.1.254.

But as my first few routers used 192.168.1.1, that what everything else on the LAN is expecting and it's easier to change the router's IP than change all the others (and probably miss one...).

Yeah, he's wrong on that, but at least he's managed to sneak a couple of backlinks to his websites in his post

Two different websites. One with "whois" completely hidden, the other looks to be Belgrade based, with information, interalia on Genital Warts.

I think he's just copy and pasted from them both, but a bit odd that they are both associated with IntelligentMag.

To add ...

I have a Speedtouch and that is 10.0.0.138 by default

and BT busienss 2wire 2700.2701 hub is also 192.168.1.254

And they both share the same IP address. Throw in that it's his first post and I suspect ham for dinner!
