I've been having issues with my home network in regards to getting error notification on devices that states 'IP address conflict'. My set up at home includes a Virgin Media superhub which acts as a modem and router, however, this is connected to another ASUS router. This is because the signal does not reach all parts of the house and the ASUS router allows me to use a ASUS repeater that boosts the signal for connectivity around the house.

However, I know get this messages of IP address conflict. I am completely clueless about networking and was wondering if anyone knows how to assign specific IP address ranges for devices to avoid this conflict.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

EDIT: I've tried to put the VM Superhub into 'Modem Only' mode to see if it would help. However, doing this causes no internet connection to come through the ASUS router and repeater at all. :(
 
I'll try the DHCP suggestions, thanks!

Also, the Asus router is in AP mode but the problem still occurs. And there's no powerline adaters either.
 
I'm still having this issue :(

The ASUS is definitely in AP mode. I thought this had resolved the issue but I'm starting to get the same IP address conflict notification again now.
 
The ASUS router is a EA-N66 Dual-band. The IP address of the Superhub is the default 192.168.0.1. I haven't manually assigned any ip address on the ASUS so that was just automatically set.

The clashes occur randomly and the error messages pop up on a windows laptop connected via WiFi.

I'm not sure of the ASUS IP address, at work just now so will post that later tonight. I'll try to change the IP range in the DHCP settings to see if that helps.

Also, a Netgear ProSafe 16 port switch is also connected to the router to provide lan connection throughout the house. Not sure if this could be contributing to the problem?

Thanks again guys.
 
Okay so the IP address on the ASUS is 10.0.1.1. However, if I type ipconfig into command prompt when connected to the ASUS it shows the same IP address as the SuperHub (192.168.0.1). I don't know if this means anything.

I've got a MacBook as well that I can use for testing purposes.
