Hey! I just began working at a different company and trying to connect back home with a VPN didn’t work because both my home network and office network use the same range—10.0.0.0/24. Now I have to change my local network setup. I was considering a less common option like 10.13.37.0/24, but I’m unsure how to proceed without disrupting many devices that are already static. I attempted to switch to a broader range such as 10.0.0.0/8 and moved one device, but I couldn’t access the internet during the process, so I stopped. What should I do? I’m not very experienced with networking and don’t want to risk anything. My router has routing capabilities with gateways, but I’m not sure how to use them effectively. I also found some helpful info on ASUS support pages, but I’m still confused about the process. As long as I can reach my local devices during the switch and everything functions normally afterward, it should be okay.

If the system is already on the 10.x.x.x network, why not move to a different range outside of 10.0.0.0/8 just for safety? Perhaps something like 172.16.0.0/24? I would handle the switch this way: configure the router with the new network and gateway, update the DHCP settings, change your PC to use the old gateway IP, and migrate all static devices. Then set your PC as the new network and router, then confirm everything works.

You would need to configure the router settings to ensure connectivity with the older devices after changing the network range.

Because you're set as the default gateway, you can communicate with them over the old network, but once you change your PC to the new one, you'll lose that connection until you reconfigure it.

Your computer will act as the main connection point (regardless of the router's IP address), but this will happen only once the router's IP is changed.

Not quite right, the PC will remain on the previous subnet, allowing communication with any device there. It has nothing to do with acting as a gateway. The key point is that the PC uses a fixed IP within that old subnet, so it can still reach static devices. You could adjust those static devices first, since you already understand the IP range you’ll be using.

Absolutely, I agree. In the worst scenario, if someone tried to target the gateway, it would definitely be a 100% accurate outcome.
