Re: Which the best IP 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.20.1 for local network?!

Any you listed will work. All of my LANs are 192.168.xxx.0/24. I see no reason to use anything larger.
在我的例子中,我联系到业余无线电AREDN网work which uses a 10.0.0.0/8 address range so that would create a conflict for me if I were to use 10.anything.
