    Yet another great video from the author! But am I the only one made uncomfortable by waiting for that box to fill with all those IP adresses? 😛

    Hi, I’ve had this problem and I’m really confused about the how and why.

    I’ve been using Xiaomi AX3600 as my house’s main router for almost two years now. And I’ve had this weird DHCP problem for the last 4-5 months now. What’s more weird that this problem only occurs on Android devices and computers that are connected via the RJ45 cable while in iOS devices and computers connected via the WiFI aren;t suffering from this.

    So the default main IP for the router is "192.168.31.1" and the default gateway for the provider (IndiHome) is "192.168.1.1". And the default DHCP auto-assign for my router are ranged 10 to 254. But the weird thing is sometimes it doesn’t connect to the router (31), and instead having another number (28). I wonder why is this happening, because sometimes the DHCP persistently gives me the ip of 192.168.28.~ instead of 192.168.31.~ that I’ve had to manually assign the ip in order to finally be able to connect to the internet.

    Where did even the 28 come from when it’s obviously 31 for the router and 1 for the provider gateway?

    You were teasing me. Class A unrouteable network ID with a Class C subnet mask. Oops, I gave away my age.

    Great job! Your videos are helping me understand a lot of new things🤙🏼 keep it going!

    Thanks for electrifying stuff in the end xD



  17. Ryan Bond on May 18, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    a computer does not need an ip address for communication, so long as there is layer 2



  18. Peace Rhyme on May 18, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    Excellently explained video, thanks

    this is by far the best youtube study platform, your explanations are amazing, I suggest you treat topics like spoofing, smurfing attacks DNS poisoning and ARP poisoning, thanks.

    i always come to get the concept before anything else because the explanation is outstanding.

    Best channel around!



  32. Sound Offense on May 18, 2022 at 11:49 pm

    why did they burn at the end lmaoo great vid



  33. handmade on May 18, 2022 at 11:50 pm

    Good work. I just try to figure out if my router supports disenabling DHCP so I can let my Pi-Hole lease the IPs in my home-network. Its a pity that nowadays some Internetptoviders don‘t want you to change anything in the router configuration. Additonally they spy on you and prevent you from going on some websites.



  34. TRUCK ME HARDER SENPAI on May 18, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    I’m so glad I found your channel I’m in the networking stage of school right now and it’s over my head but you’re making it seem easier then my ex after a couple of beers



  35. Dr. Saleh Al-Saleh on May 18, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    did you have video about OSI



  36. Albrat Gaming on May 18, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    One extra thing that you did not mention here is that you can assign IP addresses outside the scope of the Pool to a specific device. eg. your pool for DHCP is 192.168.0.10 through 192.168.0.180 Then you can assign a specific address to your printer that is 192.168.0.5 and your server to be 192.168.0.190 These fall outside the dynamic pool and therefore should not be taken by a random computer. That is how I have my server and printer setup. They fall outside the pool for assigned IP’s leaving my DHCP server the full pool of dynamic addresses.



  37. Beepboopbop on May 18, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    I laughed when the lightning blew up the router at the end lol



  38. Lokesh Ghule on May 18, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    Outro is 🔥 xd!!!

  40. Family Flanagan on May 18, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    I have applied for an awesome job recently and i have my interview on Thursday morning, and this has helped me to understand DHCP so much more than what i did previously. Thank you so much!



  41. elika chophy on May 18, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    I was struggling to understand the DHCP concept and your video helped me a lot .Thank you! for making us understand about Networking.



  42. Sergio Garcia on May 18, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    Your a god send! I don’t even know if that’s how you say it, but you helped me out . More than you know! Thank you!

    Hero



  45. benson suleiman on May 18, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    Question, correct me if im wrong. Wouldn’t it be more secure to limit the dynamic ip addresses to the number of nodes in the network? that if an external unauthorized entity tries to access the network they will fail due to the limited assigned number of ip addresses connected.



  46. Mulugeta Worku Ayele on May 19, 2022 at 12:01 am

    Really excellent.
