Can you change the IP range used by the router?
I plan on installing helix in brdige mode and then just plugging in my network. I have a complex installation with static ipS. DHCP and a separate 10gbe network. All my devices are set to the range ...

I have a complex installation with static ipS. DHCP and a separate 10gbe network.
All my devices are set to the range 192.168.1.1 to 255 but the router is set to 192.168.0.1
I know I need to log in via 10.0.0.1 but can this router allow the address range to be changed?
If not this might be a reason to cancel my helix.
ThanksTypically, consumer-grade routers have a predefined range for the local IP addresses they assign, often in the 192.168.x.x range. Changing this predefined range is often not possible on consumer routers.
I also have configuration requirements specific to my location having to do with static VS DHCP, and I have an unanswered question here related to that. Specifically, I am able to assign a specific range to the DHCP pool, like 10.0.0.250 to 10.0.0.253, but when I try to assign the MAC of my server and printers to a static IP like 10.0.0.50, say, Iget an error telling me the addresss needs to be from the pool. In my mind, that's contradictory, no?
If I don't get an answer to my own threadsoon, I will jsut force my server and printer themselves to have the static IP I want, rather than have the Helix do it.
