This has worked for me with no problems.
- Log into the router
- Click on Speedtouch
- Click on Configuration
- Click on Save or Restore Configuration
- Click on Backup Configuration Now..
You will be prompted for a location to save the user.ini file to. Save the file to your PC.
Locate the user.ini file you have just saved and open it with Notepad or a text editor
- Press [ Ctrl+F ] keys Search for the current IP address of the modem. The default is 192.168.1.254
There will be 4 or 5 results returned for the IP address. Each one needs to be altered to the new address.
- The next step is to change the IP address range for the DHCP Pool that is allocated to PC’s connected to the modem
Press [ Ctrl+F ] keys
Search for poolstart
Change the IP address to the new first IP address you wish to have the DHCP pool
Beside this you will see poolend
Change the IP address to the new last IP address you wish to have the DHCP pool
Once you have completed these steps Save and Close the file
- On the configuration page in Step 5 where you saved the user.ini file click Browse
Locate the user.ini file you have just changed
Click Restore the Configuration Now..
You will be asked to confirm the task. Click OK
The modem will upload the newly changed file and reboot itself. When the modem has restarted you should get an IP address in the new DHCP pool range allocated to your PC.
Log into the modem using the new gateway address.
- Note: If you appear to still be connecting via the original IP address ranges trying turning the modem off/on. If it is still giving the original IP ranges repeat Step 8.
