Is it possible to have pictures bigger than that? I tried to configure my router but I can’t. Excuseme but I think the guide is not clear enough. :X Also I can’t input value like “192.168.88.2-192.168.88.254” I can write only one value not one range. Maybe the problem is I am not expert enough but i really can’t do it!
