Hi i will try but this is for Marie SWE

I dont want to post sensitiv detaljs

There are a number of standard network ranges that are limited for use in Home/Business networks they basically will not work if they reach the internet

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

As the smallest of these is the third range this is normally the one used for home and small business networks, although they cove a range of 65,536 devices

More detailed information can be found here -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

In reality the networks are subdivided into smaller groups of 256 devices

Now the routers we use for home systems are set up initially by the manufacturer and using the manufacturers logic a lot use the same range ...

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 with the router given the address 192.168.0.1
192.168.1.0 to 192.168.0.255 with the router given the address 192.168.1.1

the issue we are seeing in this instance may be due to two routers local to each other both with wireless active are given two similar addresses from the same range EG 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.255. These devices will see each other and show them as a Phantom device at both locations Their assigned addresses cannot be exactly the same, as you are only allowed one of each available on a network and more than this would throw an error. but two identical addresses are common in networks that cannot see each other wirelessly, as these addresses are not visible to the internet

There is no real security issue here as long as the access passwords are different, (both the access to wireless and to the actual router settings), If you or the other router owner was to try to access the other router they would be asked for login credentials which they would not know

The best way to cure this issue is to change the settings of the router you own from the default what I normally do is use 192.168.nnn.1 to 192.168.nnn.255 where nnn is your choice of number (I have used the house number so I can remember it in future)
