192.168.0.## and 192.168.1.## are the last two blocks I would ever use 
for a home network. The potential for a miss-behaving router messing 
with your security is mind boggling.  Fortunately for better endowed 
routers that can be reflashed, there is dd-wrt.  No NSA back doors, 
nothing gets thru it you didn't allow.  It has stood guard over my 
machines for around 20 years now.
