NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 8 Stream Wi-Fi 6 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem and Multi-Gigabit Router - Manual (Page 44)

Disable the DHCP server feature in the
modem router
By default, the modem router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server,
and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned
default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network
settings of all your computers.
To disable the DHCP server feature in the modem router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5. Clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
7. (Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network,
set your computer IP addresses manually so that the computers can access the
modem router.
Manage reserved LAN IP addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer
always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP
server. Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent
IP settings.
