The LAN segment of ONR IP address range can be changed. Do contact WhizComms customer service consultant on live chat at www.whizcomms.com.sg for the guide.
WhizComms ONR has both a WAN segment that is allocated the public IP address owned by WhizComms, and a LAN segment IP of 192.168.10.x as the ONR has wired router functions. To connect the ONR to an external wireless router would therefore see the WAN IP as an internal 192.168.10.x address. The recommendation would be to set the external wireless device as Access Point mode. The ONR configuration page can be accessed via the browser with login details on the underside of the ONR.
Port forwarding and dynamic DNS configuration guide will be made available upon request. Do contact WhizComms customer service consultant on live chat at www.whizcomms.com.sg for the guide.
