Likewise, on the This custom, however, makes it easier for malware to find the router, so you are a bit safer if your router is not the number 1 device. In fact, I would avoid assigning anything to the number 1. For example, in September , malware was found targeting routers on 7 different subnets, but in each case it assumed the router's IP address ended in 1. The second most popular IP address for a router is one that ends with , as shown in this Dec. So, is out too. Zero often has a special meaning when it comes to computer networks, so it is best not to use zero either.
That leaves 2 through But, Trend Micro says not to use IP addresses ending in for the router. You get the most flexibility by using either a low 2,3,4, 5 or high , ,, number. To sum up: We should first pick a subnet that is off the beaten path, then pick an IP address within that subnet for the router again one off the beaten path , then pick a range of IP address for DHCP. The screen shot above shows an Asus router with all default values. It assigned The point of this page is to make better choices.
Note: The Lease Time refers to how long a computing device can use its dynamic IP address before it has to go back to the router and ask for another one. Asus routers make you specify the time in seconds. Peplink lets you specify the time in days, hours and minutes. If, for example, the Asus router in these screen shots were assigned to That would be really bad. However, my experience has been that most routers are smart enough to automatically adjust the DHCP range on their own, when the IP address of the router is changed.
I say this because some devices function better with a static IP address. The remaining IP addresses can be used by devices with a static IP address. Using a non-standard subnet and assigning the router a non-standard IP address makes your network safer, but it is not a perfect defense.
The Test your Router page has links to a number of online tester pages that report whether WebRTC is enabled in your web browser. If you don't use WebRTC, then you will be safer having it disabled in every web browser that you use. Many of the tester pages have instructions for disabling it. Another way the internal router IP address can leak is via the hard coded domain names used by some routers.
To make it easier to access the web interface of a router, Netgear lets its customers use www. Likewise, Asus uses router. A longer list of these router aliases is on the Introduction to Routers page. In theory, Javascript running inside a web page can use these aliases to access a router. All that said, should bad guys learn the LAN side IP address of the router, there are still many ways to keep them from interacting with the router.
Not using a default password goes without saying, but assorted routers have other defenses such as limiting access to Ethernet connected devices, limiting access by IP address and more. A VLAN is another subnet.
That is, some devices connected to the router might use the This is typically done to segment trusted devices away from non-trusted devices typically IoT. Someone who works from home, for example, might want to insure that no other devices in their home can communicate, or even see, the devices they use for work. On consumer routers, the Guest Wi-Fi network is probably implemented under the covers as a different subnet from the main network. But, consumer routers don't support real VLANs, for that you need a router with a more techie audience.
Attackers don't need to have access credentials for the affected devices in order to exploit the vulnerability, but do need to be able to reach their Web-based administration interfaces The critical point being that using the same LAN IP addresses that everyone else does, makes you more vulnerable to certain types of attacks.
This type of attack requires the bad guys to guess the IP address of the victim device. If you use a non-standard IP address, you are safer. Of a particular attack, a CIA employee wrote: "it was determined that puppetmon. When running puppetmon. User xxx advised that it would only work if the target was in the It can be foiled by changing the router password.
Although the headline uses the term "modem" the vulnerable device is a gateway modem-router combination. Quoting: "The attacker must successfully know, or guess, the victim's internal gateway IP address". Why the devotion to subnets that start with If you know of other default subnets used by routers, please send me an email. Subnet Masks Hand in hand with picking a subnet, is the concept of a subnet mask.
Choosing a router IP Address Within a given subnet, routers are usually assigned the number 1. So, what to do?

Analytics Analytics. IP subnet mask for this net segment is Resolution: In order to solving the issue, you have to set up a static route on router2.
IP subnet mask for this address is Steps of Configurations:. Step 1. Login configure page of router. According to scenario 1 and scenario 2 : type Step 2. Type the username and password in the login page. The default username and password are both admin in lower case. Step 3. Refer to picture:. And the page of Static Routing would appear on the screen:. Step 4. Click Add New…. Input destination network, subnet mask, default gateway, select status and save it.
Please refer to following introduction to input parameter. In 1 st bar, type the IP address of destination. In 2 nd bar, type the IP subnet mask for this destination.
