I've been using DIR-600 wireless router since an year. But, after having a factory reset i'm having a strange issue. When i'm configuring the router in the Dlink page(192.168.0.1 now i changed it to 192.168.1.100).. In that i go to Manual Internet Configuration>> then i select Static IP(Since i've been provided a static IP,gateway, DNS settings by my ISP) As soon as enter IP: 192.168.1.2,, and Subnet : 255.255.255.0,,,Gateway : 192.168.1.1 and enter DNS details and press SAVE.. I get a message " Invalid IP Address".. I've set the Router IP as 192.168.1.100 and DHCP range : 3 to 199

I don't know why is this happening.. It wasn't there before.. Please provide me the solution to this problem as i'm not able to connect to internet now from the router...

You are trying to set the external (WAN/Internet) IP address to an address inside the range of addresses that the router wants to use for its local (LAN) network. You can't do that. If the static IP address from your Internet provider really is 192.168.1.2 (unlikely) then you cannot use 192.168.1.xxx for the LAN IP address on the router. You will need to change it to something else that does not conflict with the WAN/Internet IP address. The default 192.168.0.1 address for the DLink router would work just fine.

The problem still persist even if i set the router ip 192.168.0.1
Before doing factory reset i had the same settings but its not working now..

I've fixed the problem.. i did a hard reset and kept the Router IP :192.168.0.1 and set the ISP settings in the Dlink Internet Configuration page.. Working Fine
