WAN gateway ip address must be within the WAN subnet
« on: August 05, 2011, 11:35:55 PM »
I am on a University campus and they have provided the following to connect to the internet along with DNS server addresses:
IP Address: 192.168.25.24
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.254.1

When I connect my computer, it gives an error that the IP address and subnet mismatch, but it still connects to the internet just fine. However, if I try to put these settings into the DIR-655 along with my computer's MAC address, it gives me the error "WAN gateway IP address 192.168.25.24 must be within the WAN subnet" and requires I change it. How can I get around this?

I would ask your campus IT support about this and see if the subnet and IP addresses are correct and if they support using a external router on there system to be sure.

you might try changing the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0
