Archer C3200 V1 not possible to set LAN IP to subnet 1. (LAN to WAN)
![](/avatar/avatar-4.png)
When i go to Advance/Network/LAN the standard ip address is 192.168.0.1 when i set the ip address to 192.168.1.2 and hit apply the router reboots and comes back with the standard ip address 192.168.0.1 i tried everything i also did a factory reset but noting works this router doesn't accept a different subnet i think that this is a bug in the firmware.
Is it possible to fix this with a firmware update?
I have it set up in LAN/WAN, cable from modem LAN to router WAN, i want the router in the same subnet as the modem but this doesnt work.

Yes, i know how to set it up in LAN/LAN.
On the internet some 1 sets it up in LAN/WAN with 2 TP link routers but they both have the same subnet 0 and this works.

But my router has a different subnet then my modem and then this doesnt work.

It's best to watch the YouTube video for the instructions.
The article following the video tutorial is poorly written. Some of the screenshots are not real examples.

Obviously you can't have an IP address range ending at 192.168.0.299
Moreover,
Watching the video instructions (LAN/WAN scenario) you can clearly see:
@10:57 (LAN IP address of the first router is 192.168.0.1)
@11:22 (LAN IP address of the second router is 192.168.1.1)
Their LAN IP addresses are in different networks.
You can configure them both - LAN/LAN or LAN/WAN (following the video instructions), but I would recommend LAN/LAN, thus avoiding double NAT in your network.

LAN/WAN only works if the router keeps his own IP address 192.168.0.1 but then i have 2 networks.
So it is not possible to do LAN/WAN to set the router to 192.168.1.2 in the same subnet as the modem if the router uses standard subnet 0.
Maybe it would work if i had a router with standard subnet 1.
My setup:
Modem has ip address 192.168.1.1 range start at 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.210
Router set to ip address 192.168.1.2 at range 192.168.1.211 to 192.168.1.254
This is how they explane it op on that site.
After connecting the wan cable to the router it reboots and is set back to 192.168.0.1
On the site they talking about in the same subnet and that doesnt work.

That was exactly my point. If you have your modem LAN in 192.168.1.X then the WAN port of your C3200 can be set as 192.168.1.2 (for example).
But... its LAN can't be in the same network - 192.168.1.X because it makes a NAT to a different network by default - as you said keeps reverting to 192.168.0.X network.
The only way to do this (if at all possible), is if you can disable NAT of your C3200. Check that in your router and if you do have it, then uncheck Enable NAT option and try again.
If you don't have that feature implemented then you can't do that, the way you want.

I only see in the menu under NAT forwarding: ALG, Virtuele server, poort triggering, DMZ, UPnP
So i only can set this router in LAN/LAN.

This is a screenshot from another router model (just as an example):
If you don't have such an option in your management interface, then you can't disable NAT feature of C3200 - not every TP-Link router model got that implemented.
In the recent router models (not all devices) there's a dedicated operation mode - AP. In this scenario your connection would be LAN/WAN and the IP address of the WAN port (called LAN in this mode) - that's the blue port - should be in the same network as the modem LAN ports. But that's not the C3200 case.

No, this router doesnt have that option.
And if this router would have a standard IP address with subnet 1 so 192.168.1.1 then this would work? I believe Asus router have a ip address 192.168.1.1

That's not the point, because you can change the LAN IP address of C3200 to be 192.168.1.1. But the WAN IP address can't be in the same network (192.168.1.X) and vise versa. In short, configure the LAN/LAN scenario (the link from my first post or the YouTube tutorial from the article) and everything would be fine.
