ZenWifi AX Strange LAN IP addresses

[Dr Nick]

Can anyone please tell me why some of my devices are showing an IP address of 192.168.101.xxx when they should be in the range of 192.168.0.xxx and why have I got figure of a person in the WiFi icon (see image).

I have two ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8)'s and one ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini (XD4) setup in a mesh configuration.

That answers the question. Thank you.

is this normal to have guest net get totally different IP ranges? I noticed a few oddball things about them tonight:

• The 192.168.101.x guest IPs only take place in the first position guest network that is set up.
• The 2.4ghz uses 101, the 5-1 uses 102 and the 5-2 uses 103
• When i did not know what devices these were, i tried to block them, but that is not possible since the router thinks these addresses are invalid????
• The other position guest networks honor the original ranges and I assume that is because they are anchored only to the router not the AP

So is this acceptable and normal for the router to be giving out addresses for a guest network out of the normal DHCP range?

Thanks

Yes it is. Search for more details.

Maybe the link above will give you enough keywords to search better. (Yes, 'Better Search' is still far from 'working search').
