Input to the router - ip 192.168.1.xxx (Internet Port)

Router working on ip 192.168.0.1 (not allowing to change the ip - Error coming as: DHCP pool should be in the same network with gateway address). Router is Dlink DIR 615. Support from Dlink couldn't provide a single valid ip that is valid and acceptable to router.

As the Router is on 192.168.0.1 and the network is on 192.168.1.xxx, i could not see the the network that is on 192.168.1.xxx

Detailed Description:
Have a base network - IP 192.168.1.77 Subnet: 255.255.0.0 Gateway: 192.168.251.1 (for the wire that taken from another router)

Added the above as input to router

Config on router: IP: 192.168.0.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
Dlink DIR - 615 As per the manufacturer, they didn't provide any other valid ipconfig other than the above.

The wire emanating from router is connected to the PC and able to get internet but not the base network. Any solution in resoluting the same is commendable.


Hope the below clears the configuration in the system

Solution
Just use the 10.x.x.x block for your lan ip and then you will not get a conflict. It is not common to use 255.255.0.0 mask with ip out of the 192.168 range. It works and is valid it is just common so some times you see software issues because they did not test the firmware properly.
The whole thing that makes IP addresses work properly is the subnet masks. You can not mix this on same network. All devices that connect to the same LAN/network must have the same mask. If you mix them you get inconsistent results. Some things work and other will not but it is not a recommended install.

You can make it work by being even more non standard. Just put in static routes for the subnets you want and point them to the gateway. The traffic may still not know how to get back it depends on many things.

Pretty much the only way to fix this is to define your subnet masks so all devices on the same segment use the same.

Thank you for response bill.

Here i am trying to change the ip address of the router. Router not allowing to change ip's or subnet masks as per the incoming ip address.

For Instance: the incoming ip is: 192.168.1.77
255.255.0.0
192.168.1.251

I am giving ip range for router: 192.168.1.248 to 192.168.1.249 (the unassigned free range for checking)
with the above subnets and gateway

Any suggestion regarding Dlink DIR-615 router if configured from its default ip's is welcome, as dlink failed to provide an acceptable range for the issue "Dhcp pool should be in the same network with gateway address".
