Change gateway address however part of address greyed out

I need to change the gateway address on IPV4 as I have a multi system setup that uses an IP address of 192.168.1.254

 The current router shows address of 192.168.0.1, I can change this to 192.168.1 however the 1 is greyed out and cannot be changed. Can i do this and if so how?

@Patrick66 if you have the white Sky Max hub I think your options are limited as the web interface is heavily locked down. By default the hub is set to use the address range 192.q68.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 with the gateway at 192.168.0.1 and the DHCp range set to 192.168.0.2 and up. Looking at my own settings I dont think  that is changeable. You cannot switch off the DHCP server although you can get round that to some extent by editing the range it users say up to 192.168.0.100. 

These hubs are not intended for use by anyone wanting to configure a network they are for simple domestic networks.

Re: Change gateway address however part of address greyed out

totally SILLY that you can't change the gateway to be 192.168.1.254. I am in the same boat.

 

This is a pretty fundamental setting and not anything to do with people who want to do lots of configuration changes.

Most people who change providers, like I have from BT will find this VERY FUSTRATING
