All the Linksys routers I have used allow use of B and C (never tried A)

You are NOT restricted to 192.168.1.xxx

Tried a Linksys WRT54GS...it specifically states that the ip is only
192.168.1.xxx

And looking at the Linksys site, that appears to be common throughout
their line.

AFAIK, Buffalo's let you start at any IP address and distribute up to
253 addresses above it.

Incorrect. I've set my own Linksys WRT54G to use 10.35.0.* addresses.
Works fine.

connection fails if I use a router assigning a 192.168.1.xxx address

I currently use a Netgear MR814 which allows me to use class A addresses
in DHCP...would like to update from b to g.

Thanks!

I have a Linksys WRT54G router (WRT54GS will be essentially the same). You
can use ANY of the private IP address spaces with the router and have the
router dole out DHCP addresses in whatever quantity the subnet address space
allows...in a WRT54G router go to

Setup
Network setup (about half way down)
type in your local IP address of choice Class C: 192.168.1.XX
Class B:
172.16.XX.XX
Class A:
10.XX.XX.XX

add the subnet mask. The default mask for C is 255.255.255.0
B is
255.255.0.0
A is
255.0.0.0

Set DHCP server to enable, add the starting range and however many DHCP user
addresses you want your router to dole out.

There you'll have it, you can choose ANY private IP address space you want
and have the router dole out as many DHCP addresses as the address space
will allow, starting at whatever point in the address block you want (you
may want to get ahold of a free copy of Wildpackets or Solarwinds in order
to get an address calculator).

Linksys and most of the other wireless router companies shows 192.168.1.XX
because that is the one that it usually defaults to and is perfectly OK to
use. Personally, I use a class A address space with an unusual subnet mask,
just to make it a bit harder to assume (like most) that I exist in the
default address zone.

Not true. Totally false. I've used different IPs with both Linksys and
Netgear routers.
