I live in an area where most of the people are using a gateway (router/modem) from the same ISP. That means everyone is probably using a default private network (192.168.1.X). Is there any reason to change to a different private network pool (say 172. or 10.) or even just a different part of the 192 (say 192.168.47.X - can you do that?? I've got about 45-50 IP addresses in use, so well under whatever limits there are.

Its just been a curiosity.....

No.
That 192.168.xxx.xxx is completely internal behind your router. No one else has access to that range behind your router.
FYI, my internal IP range is exactly the same...;) As well as 99% of the people reading this.
