You can access as many addresses as you want from your router. The address
block is determined by the subnet mask. Take a look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

You will want to avoid 176, instead look at the 172.16. range or the entire
192.168.x.x range ( subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0)

Hope that helps
