The dreaded 10.0.0.x range

SwiftianSatire — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 16:28:14 GMT

My network consists of static IP addresses in the 10.0.0.x range, which is why I have stuck with the Technicolor TG582n.

I have a Plusnet Hub One, which obviously doesn't support 10.0.0.x

I also have a tp-link AX3000 Archer AX55.

(Yes, I don't know why it feels entitled to two AXs either)

Could I have the Hub One on 192.168.1.254 with its wireless turned off
AND
have the tp-link AX3000 Archer AX55 on, say, 10.0.0.0 in bridge mode?

Is this possible?

I would connect all my devices, both wired and wireless to the tp-link.

If anyone has any bright ideas on how this could be achieved, I'd love to hear them.

The simple answer is No.

You say you are using a TG582n. What is your broadband service? ADSL, superfast FTTC, or FTTP ?

If you have FTTC or FTTP, connect your AX55 directly to the Openreach modem, and use PPPoE to connect to Plusnet broadband. Configure your AX55 with LAN IP 10.0.0.x subnet, if it is supported.

If you have ADSL, you willl need a ADSL bridge modem. I think I read the Plusnet Hub Two supports ADSL as well as VDSL2 bridge modes. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes it does, as of the latest firmware.

Thank you for your reply.

I am currently on ADSL but considering FTTC.

I will use your information to inform my decision.

Thank you once again,
