Changing Router IP and DHCP Blocked Internet Access

captainjackla

We have a router with the typical IP of 192.168.1.1 and DHCP scope that matches.

I wanted to change the subnet from 1.x to 50.x [per client request due to VPN issues]. I changed the router IP to 50.1, changed the DHCP scope to 50.x range. The router is leasing out new addresses under 50.x. I made sure to restart all AP units just for good measure. But now the Internet is not accessible. I finally got to restart the ISP modem, no change.

I checked on a few items, made sure the DNS servers are the same as before. At this point I only noticed the WAN gateway screen showed Status as OffLine [to Megapath]. I forgot to capture that screen.

I restored the router settings with the backup config file until we can figure it out.

Any ideas?

Check if pfSense has changed the outbound NAT rule to fit to the new subnet if you use automatic rule generation. If you have set it to manually rule gen the rules has to changed by yourself in any case.
