Both addresses are non-typical, but to make it work, all you need is to change
one to match the other,
eg: 192.168.15.1 -> 192.168.1.1 OR
.... 192.168.1.240-> 192.168.15.240
notice the change is only the third number.
Both will need a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

how can u change the the expander to 15.240?

 

[DelJo63]

did you try the manual?? normally, you would use your browser and access

192.168.1.240/ (without the HTTP​

login
and then
change its address,
apply the setting (which should restart the device)

to verify; attempting to access 192.168.1.240/ SHOULD timeout
and accessing 192.168.15.240/ SHOULD prompt for a login again

 

[chrispudge]

oh you can login without the http://? i was trying it with it, im prob gonna have to hardwire it first rite?

 

[DelJo63]

yep! If there's no login prompt, just move to the router and open its
address and then move you net to the expander's address range

 

[chrispudge]

no luck wit this thing...cant see it on my network...what am i doing wrong?
