I'm new to using Linux and decided to switch to Arch for my daily driver because I'm fed up with Windows. After using the archinstall script, I've noticed that my local IP address is in the 107.xxx.xxx.xxx range instead of the typical 192.xxx.xxx.xxx. I haven't changed any settings on the network manager or anything else. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to get my computer to use a 192 address instead. I suspect this might be an issue with my router since it's an AT&T model connected through a network switch. This situation seems to be causing problems with using the NAT and gaming settings in my router's admin page, and I'd much prefer to have a standard 192 address. I'm open to providing more info if needed. Thanks for your help!

Typically, the router determines what local IP range is used. If you're getting a 107 address, it suggests misconfiguration. Double-check your router settings and restart both the router and your computer to see if it picks up a proper local address.
Default settings usually give you a local network IP. If your router is configured correctly, it shouldn't be issuing a 107 address. Make sure the DHCP settings on your router are set to assign addresses in the 192.168.x.x range.
