Hi.
I have left switch and Internet router ip as 192.168.1.254.
The network is working fine and internet is also running on all computers
And when I write this io in explorer it shows router page.
Please tell me is it going to cause a problem in future.

This is because you're accessing your router's IP address. This IP address is most likely also listed as your default gateway. If you type it in your browser, you're actually accessing it. This is for accessing the router to make configuration changes like its SSID, WPA, and more.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Also I was asking is it going to cause a problem in the future while connecting to network using that switch or connecting to internet.

As long as you don't give this same IP address to another device, doesn't matter what type of device is, you won't have any issues at all.
