For example, we're following a tutorial to access some server and in the tutorial it asks to + 10 to the end of the gateway. Which would mean 192.168.1.254 which it cannot accept because it can't be larger than 255. So...I don't know what to do.

Then decrement it by 10 instead so its 244, down from 254.

Hello, for some reason my default gateway for my ethernet connection is the routers ip. Why is this? I checked on  some friends gateway and they both have 192.168.0.1image.png.83a03b4fe4b0d7dece94b289316c9e61.png

The default gateway is the address where everything the device doesn't know how to reach directly gets sent. In this case that's going to be your router, it will know how to get out to the rest of the internet via a default route provided to it by your ISP.

The gateway is different because you've probably got a different router or setup from your friends. Most will use 192.168.something.1 but sometimes they will flip it and use 192.168.something.254

I reset my adaptor and now I have two IPv6 addresses and a IPv6 address for my default gateway...

That's fine too, you still have an IPv4 address for the default gateway for any IPv4 traffic. The IPv6 address is a link-local address and is going to be that of your router in this case.

Do mind that on your router you check your DHCP scope and make sure it doesn't cover this server IP. Especially if there is a possebility this server will be shut down sometimes or loses connection. Else maybe someone else might get this IP address
