Stuck installing the OBI in an office network
Veronica:
Hello and good day. This is my situation:
I need to install an OBI 110 in my sister's office, now in her office she has only got 1 network point which is connected directly to her pc.
What i did was i purchased a cheap router without antenna and set it up without success.
The network they have is 192.168.10.x so i tried configuring the router's ip to 192.168.10.x, tried many different ranges and different things playing around with the router with no go.
So i would like to know is what would you recommend me in this situation. I know that would be ideal to make her have another network point to connect to the obi but i prefer to avoid that as is her office not her business lol. Anyways would an Ethernet hub do the job or perhaps a switch, hopefully not too expensive and that will work without too much tinkering.
Thanks in advance!

First, you may be violating her company's policies by doing this.
If not, the router needs to have DHCP turned off making it an access point.
The OBi may not work if their firewall prevents it.
Veronica:
The obi works fine is i connect the Ethernet cable directly. I did try every single convination in that router, the thing is that every time i changed it to 192.168.10.x it would automatically change itself to 192.168.24.x don't know why but was always 24 instead of 10.
It is fine with the policies they don't have an it department right there, they have to call them if there is any problem with the system so it rather take care of that

That seems implausible that you tried very combination in the router.
Go back and follow Rick's post.
Veronica:
Ill try that tomorrow again then. So the router defaults ip is 192.168.0.1 i need it to be in the 192.168.10.x network what you tell me to do is to just turn off dhcp but the routers ip will remain 192.168.0.1 isn't it?
