To use DHCP, the router must be configured to have 192.168.100.1 address within the pool of the addresses it allocates. If a router starts its DHCP range with 192.168.1.1, tens of thousands of addresses in the range with lower numbers like 192.168.100.1 are not used. Administrators usually specify 192.168.100.1 as the first address in the DHCP range so that not only 192.168.100.1 is used, but also addresses after it such as 192.168.100.2, 192.168.100.3, etc. are also used.

By assigning a static IP address manually, the network mask of the router must be set up correctly to support the IP address.
