Disable The Dhcp Server Feature In The Router; Reserve Lan Ip Addresses - NETGEAR R7000 User Manual

Your settings are saved.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range that you have defined
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the router's LAN IP address)
• DNS server IP address (the router's LAN IP address)

Disable the DHCP Server Feature in the Router

By default, the 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 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 router:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
5. Clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
7. (Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network, set your
computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the router.

Reserve 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 router's DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
