But then it would let through anything from 1 to 254 and is not as secure as
limiting the range to just what I need, right?
The entire 192.168.1.x IP address range is reserved for private
networks. Computers connected directly to the Internet can't have
such IP addresses. No one on the Internet can access such an address
on your network.
If you want to limit the range further, that's fine, too.
