Hey OP. BTW I love those GL iNET devices. I have an AR300M running my internet at home 

From what I understand, everything is plugged in to a network so you cant plug it in to your laptop to change it's IP? And you are moving devices from one site to another and so they are coming already configured with static IPs which are wrong for where they have been installed?

Thank you guys for replying!! I know I was a bit confusing, I can never get my thoughts out into words very well.

What @Dieselboy said about just changing my wifi IP config sounds like it would be easier and would not have to unplug the devices until I am done configuring. 
Would changing the wifi IP work just like the NIC on my laptop even if the AR750S is giving out IPs? Wouldn't I have to change the static IP of the GLiNet router so that it will give out the 192/172 schemes? I was hoping to not have to do that but it's better then being outside. (Unless I misunderstand you Dieselboy)

To answer the first question, technically yes, but I currently have to directly connect to each device through ethernet connection and what I want to do is connect to them wirelessly.  They have to be config'd by direct connection outside of any network so that both the camera and the controller can be configured to the 10.x scheme of the network that is being installed. 

So we have the camera (192.168) and the controller (192.168 or 172.x [depends on which way I plug in {2 different connections}]) they are pre-configured with those IP addresses.  Then we have a router that has the 10.x scheme and we have to change the camera and controller to the 10.x scheme.

@Deanwebb Thank you for replying as well!! It is all wired and I am trying to connect the devices to a wireless router so I can connect to them wirelessly... (If I didn't say that above) LOL

Does this clarify better? I also keep getting distracted as I type and keep forgetting.... 

Hi to all that might be able to help... my name is Chris and I have a weird project, I know what I want the router to do but I do not know how to get it to do it.  I am not "new" to networking but am new to configuring.  My father is a Network and Security manager but I am not learned by him.... sadly.  Otherwise I wouldn't be posting here but asking him to "help" aka him do it because he isn't good at teaching and is good at yelling..... anyway back to the topic.

I have an IP camera and a controller both with static IPs that need to be changed (New installs so I am not going back to the same site).  The original static IP of the camera and controller is the same but on different subnets, and the new IP's are different but I get them before I go to the jobsite. I want to be able to connect wirelessly to the 2 devices but I can't figure out how to see them on the rotuer. I don't want the router to give out IP addresses but see the ones that are already programmed to the device(s).
192.168.x.y and 172.x.128.y
Depending on which port on the controller I plug into it can be on either the 172 or 192 scheme. But the camera is always on the 192 scheme. Then they get changed to a 10.x.x.x scheme.

I want to configure the router so that I can reach these devices together without having to change the LAN IP of the router because I can do that wirelessly but was hoping I wouldn't have to but that is the easy way.  My coworker said something about creating a bridge and something else... but I have no clue how to get it to work.  I tried creating a new interface with a bridge but after that I am lost.  It is a GLiNet AR750S.

What I normally have to do is connect individually to each device and change my NIC of my laptop to the 192.168.x.y and 172.x.128.y and then to see them again after the change, I have to set to the 10.x.x.x scheme.  I want to eliminate that, where I can plug the devices into the router and be able to change them wirelessly and still be able to connect to them after the static IP's are changed. That way I only have to physically connect them to the router once and don't have to connect physically to my computer twice.

Thanks for any input and if possible put it in more basic terms (I am good at googling but there isn't really anything that made sense to me regarding what I just posted LOL). Thanks again!
