> Yes, that is a limitation in nm-connection-editor, which should probably be fixed. Which also means, it's non-obvious to the user that the range is configurable.

> Try for example:
>
> nmcli connection modify $CONNECTION_ID +ipv4.addresses 192.168.5.1/24

> where you can find $CONNECTION_ID via `nmcli connection show`
> Afterwards, verify with `nmcli connection show $CONNECTION_ID`
