Into the Hub Interface...Setting Up a New DHCP Range and Hub Address

• The default IP address of the hub is usually 192.168.1.254, but I checked by going to the command prompt and typing IPCONFIG /ALL.
• 
• The address against the DHCP server was the address of the hub.
• There are other ways of doing this but this worked for me.
• The hub defaults to being a DHCP server for a network and if you have set up your PC to get its address automatically it will get its address from the hub. You do not in fact have to set up a new DHCP range, for later on you will be disabling the DHCP service from the hub, unless you want to use the hub as your DHCP server.
• I then opened up a browser and typed in HTTP://192.168.1.254 to get to the hub interface so that I could configure it to my needs.
• I found the Fusion Devices confusing at first and also unnecessary so I switched it off by going to the Local Network tab and then to the Summary link (which was open by default). In the Status at a Glance section, I clicked on the button opposite the Fusion Devices to disable it.
• 
• I clicked the Local Network tab then the Advanced settings link on the web interface page.
• I changed the settings to
• • Configure Manually
  • Router Address: 192.168.1.99
  • Enable DHCP
  • First Address: 192.168.1.1
  • Last Address: 192.168.1.90
  • 
• No, these are not my real settings but will work for you if you use them.
• It doesn't matter what you stick in for range and router address but the router (hub) address must be outside your DHCP range.
• At the bottom of the page is the Display Settings section.
• I unchecked the 'Show inactive devices in network list as I found it to be distracting later on.
• 
• I clicked SAVE at the bottom of the page.
• First time around I forgot to do this and spent ages trying to see what I had done wrong.
• I unplugged the ethernet cable then plugged it back in to be sure that the IP address the PC was getting was one that was inside the new DHCP range.
• There are other ways you can do this, but this may be simplest. You can see the new computer address in the Device List if you reopen the Local Network > Advanced Settings.
• After doing this I had to close the browser window and reopen it with the new IP address; 192.168.1.99.
