Advice on Default Gateway
Hi All.. looking for some advice..
I'm not a noob, though this may sound like kind-of a noob question.. but an issue that I have never had to deal with has come up, and I would like some advice as to which option to choose..
I am upgrading my router. My new router has a different default gateway than the old router (.1.1 vs. .0.1, respectively)
Should I change the default gateway on the router itself to match the default gateway on each pc and device on the network to match that of old router, or should I change the default gateway in the network settings on all the pc's and devices on the network to match that of the new router?
Is one option a better choice than the other, or does it not matter? In all my time dealing with networks/routers/etc. I've never run across this situation with different default gateways.. I guess because I was always partial to Netgear (192.168.0.1), and now I am moving to Cisco (192.168.1.1).
Thanks in advance!
