My whole networks is now messed up with incorrect IP adresses. I have many static IP that is not working anymore.
I have tried restarting many times..
How can I get it back to 192.168.212.* without a total reset?

    As I know, the only way to set the IP back is reset to default, and install the system again.
    Multy will set the IP back to 192.168.212.1 after the reset.
    seems there is something that causes the IP conflict with the Multy ip subnet(192.168.212.1), and changes its IP subnet.

    Update. I couldn't wait so I did a reset.
    What is interesting to note is when I changed the DNS server on the Multi X from default to custom and added local DNS (192.168.212.4) instead. Then the LAN IP changed to 10.0.0.x. When I change back to default it still is 10.*
    Now I know what happened, but dont know why or how to avoid it..
    A bug in using custom dns? 
    Any idea?

    Dear Sir,

    Please refer to the link:
    https://homeforum.zyxel.com/discussion/3337/problem-trying-to-run-pihole-with-zyxel-multy-x-wifi#latest

    Due to the DNS IP Setting in Multy App is for WAN, you cannot set the DNS as your LAN device, otherwise, Multy would detect that the WAN IP subnet and LAN IP subnet are conflicted, then change the IP as 10.0.0.1
    You can set your DNS server on the WAN side of Multy, and config the DNS with the IP as 192.168.10.X, it should be work.

    Best Regards,
    Eric

    Thanks, That was what I saw and I also moved the DNS to WAN side. Not ideal, but works.
