Just got a brand new TRENDNet AC1900 wireless router that will feed my entire network. It replaces an old Linksys BEFSR41.
In my network I have three WAPs, two PCs, a laptop, a NAS, and a printer that all use static IP addresses based on 192.168.1.x (where x is 2..75). The address 192.168.1.1 was my old router's IP address and the three WAPs (configured as bridges with DHCP disabled) are 192.168.1.2, .3, and .4 respectively.
The default IP address of the new AC1900 is 192.168.10.1. Should I consider changing it to match my old router's IP address so that I don't have to reconfigure all other devices in my network?
If so, what would be the simplest thing to do? Connect the AC1900 directly to my PC, change the IP address in the AC1900 menu settings, disconnect it from the PC, and then connect it in between my modem and 8-port gigabit switch in my garage (in place of the old BEFSR41)?
