DHCP range to 254?
Is there a reason why I can't set my DHCP range all the way to 254 on fizz router? my subnet is 255.255.255.0, and when i set last ip to 254, i don't get a error message and it says "saved" but when i return to the page, the setting isn't saved. The max i can go to is 253...

One IP for the subnet, one for the broadcast I do not know if there is one for the modem

I'd argue that the gateway is the router's IP, x.x.x.1...5

192.168.x.0 Subnet Address
192.168.x.[1-254] Range
192.168.x.255 Broadcast7 -
Pardon my curiosity, but why do you care to assign a device on .254?
Actually if you have configured it to serve as a DHCP service, then it will decide what IPs it will assign. Sure, you can Reserve IPs, but do you really need .254? What is wrong with anything lower than 254?

Normaly the process is on The Basic: LAN Setup Screen
and the DHCP End IP field.
can you test with an other end addres like 192.168.0.1205 -
take a look on The Status: DOCSIS WAN Screen and gateway ip addres4
