Wireless Networking, a quickie.

I am re-configuring my home wireless network & actually I am slightly confused. I've read the help files already. Ok basically, I need to know... when I access my wireless router and see the set up screen, it shows me the MAC address (LAN IP Address).

Device IP Address: 192.168.xxx.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.255.xxx.xxx

The help files says:

This is the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the router as it is seen by internal LAN users in your home or office. The default value is 192.168.1.1 for IP and 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask.

Can I safely change these to whatever I want? Thoughts?

Anybody? I really need help with this asap.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I live in an urban area and we have quite a few networks around here. The defaults are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 // I think it would add a little more security if they were not the defaults, wouldn't it?

I was thinking like 192.168.135.01 amd 255.255.255.55

@ Sir VG: Thats the point. I live in an urban area. I don't want someone with the same router hitting my access point. Thus, is why I am asking.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
