need wireless router where wan can be on 192.168.1.x net

The subject kinda says it all. I''m looking for a router (or access
point) where the WAN (outside) address can belong to the 192.168.1.0
network. I know Linksys won't do it because they use that network for
the wireless.

Thanks

Are you saying that Linksys routers don't allow you to select the
address for your internal network?

All routers allow you to change the LAN IP scheme. Out of the box,
Linksys ship with a 192.168.1.x scheme, but by logging into the router,
you can easily change it.

If you want a router that out of the box has a different scheme, i
believe Belkin uses 192.168.2.x, and netgear uses 192.168.100.x. I'm
pretty sure the new black Dlinks are 192.168.1.x.

Dave,
It sounds like you are downstreeaming a 2nd router or are trying not
to step on one of those dsl modems/routers that has a 192.168.1.1
control page - I just went through this and the user/pass kept
disqualifying us trying to get into router control because the Linksys
control page and modem control page were same address. you can change
the router device IP addres to something other than 1 - usually
opposite extrem ...254 and leave the 192.168.1 portion alone, this
should alleviate the hangs getting to a control page, I would also
limit the router DHCP range to start at say 102 and only issue a dozen
or so IP's to further reduce the possibility of duplicating any IP's.
If the modem is truly a modem / router (the 192 series is private and
your ISP is public series.. normally a 2 digit series like 68) it is
translating the public series to a private series and dynamically
issuing a single ip to the first computer or router it sees. it is
probably issuing the wan side of your router an ip like 192.168.1.2 or
1.100 - I don't think a modem router will issue multiple IP's like a
dedicated router - in fact, it may look for a verify a specific mac
address that it recorded when you first signed up using only your
primary computer connected direct to modem - this is why new routers
have ability to clone mac address from a pc on your lan side to the
embedded nic in the wan side of your router - this way your ISP still
sees the original nic card it registered with your account.

What is it you're trying to accomplish? Many routers boxes, including those
from linksys certainly can use a private network address on their WAN port.
But without knowing what you think needs to be done it's pretty much
pointless to speculate. Can you give a better explanation of what you've
got now, why it doesn't do what's needed and what you want?
