I've had modems from my ISP which assigned themselves 192.168.0.254 for some reason. I have no idea why

    My guess is that enough people were buying routers and using them as access points. They all tend to be on 192.168.0.1 .254 means you don't get as bad collisions when that happens. It would cut down on technical support calls.
