I've got a Thomson V8 router from PN and even though I've removed the 10.x range from the router, and turned off the DHCP my computer keeps being assigned a 10.x ip address.
How do stop it - its driving me mad!

I think the 10.x range is used during easy start set-up. Should switch to the normal 192.168.1.x range when that completes. Did you have problems during set-up?

I had to reset it three times during set up as its Interfaces page seems very reluctant to act on changes you make to it.
Its odd - it connects via Wireless and gets an 10.x range so I disconnect and reconnect and it gets a 192.168.0.x which is what my server hands out.

Try a factory reset. If that does not work then it's faulty. As spraxyt says, 10.x.y.z isn't even the normal address range.

Actually it is.
If you have a V8 router it comes with two IP addresses set - a 192.168.1.254 and a 10.x address.
The DHCP server also has two IP address ranges set up to cover both of these networks.
Also you can't delete a DHCP range unless you also delete the IP address in the router associated with that subnet even if you've turned off DHCP

I can see that there might be some use in having a router maintain two independent networks that are not visible to each other so you could have, for example, a "Home" network and a "Working from Home" network. But surely DHCP can only apply to one of these (unless the router sets up multiple wireless networks in the manner of a BT Home Hub, or one is for wireless and the other for wired connections).
I don't have a V8 router myself but I have set-up several of them. The default is DHCP address range is 192.168.1.x for all connections (with the router having address 192.168.1.254). And any possible second wireless network is off by default. So a reset to factory defaults should stop any devices being assigned a 10.x.y.z IP address.

But when I do a factory reset it comes back with two ip address addresses and two address ranges set up in the DHCP.
I'm not doing another one - I had to do about 4 to get it set up because its admin/configuration screens are pretty messy the minute you want to do anything slightly odd.

My TG585v8 has two gateway addresses but only one DHCP range. From my point of view the current settings are "defaults" after (successfully) going through the easy start process. I haven't made any changes.
My Interfaces Configure page is shown in the attachment. Is yours different?

It is now I've deleted everything apart from the router IP address I gave the router. But that is pretty much what it looked like. Glad to know I wasn't imagining the 10.x address.
