When you say "setup your network on ..." by "network" do you mean the local
ip address of the router or the starting DHCP address?


Thanks,

The router asks for the IP Address and mask, it defaults to 192.168.0.1 or
192.168.1.1 (depends on version), change it to something non-default, like
192.168.10.1.

Changing the default will automatically change the issued DHCP IP scope to
192.168.10.x. if you have it enabled.

Not really.
