Deco M9 Plus - natmask
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have tried to configure Deco as AP for wireless clients on my network, my network uses a 255.255.240.0 netmask (192.168.0.0-192.168.15.255) my wired clients mostly uses DHCP to receive fixed adres from DHCP server. First I have tried to set Deco's addres as dynamic, from DHCP, but then Deco works only with it internal DHCP server and mobile clients receives address outside my network pool - Deco don't want to take offered addres by DHCP server (I see DHCP offer on DHCP server log file). Than I have tried to set IP and netmask by hand, but when I write my netmask (255.255.240.0) on Deco config I receive information that IP is wrong (i have tried to set 192.168.10.21 - so it is OK), but when i change netmask to standard one (255.255.255.0) everything works fine it is accepted by Deco - but od course, I don't have access to my 192.168.11.* network and these is a problem...
Hi,
There is one question regarding to the IP address obtained by the wired clients which connect to the first TL-SG108, did they get IP address automatically or you assigned static IP for them; The IP of the main router/DHCP server is 192.168.10.x, so the IP address of wired clients should be 192.168.10.x. And with the 192.168.11.x, not on the same subnet, theoretically, there is no internet internet with the 192.168.11.x IP.
What about the current operation mode of the Deco M9 plus? It is the router mode or the access point mode?
Meanwhile, with your device connected to the Deco M9 plus, can you access internet?
Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.

As I wrote above...
"Deco is set to function as AP and wireless clients can connect internet, but i want to use my old netmask to have larger adress pool."
All I want is to set up 255.255.240.0 netmask on my Deco, but Deco don't want to accept netmask another than standard one (255.255.255.0) - these adress pool is not enough for me.
