Restrict DHCP?
Hello Everyone, Thanks for taking the time to read this. I've got a Netgear Orbi Mesh router with one sattelite. Everything was fine until 3 days ago when the cable modem I own was replac...

OK, first off, you don't have to be a **bleep**. You made a short answer, being "no, you can't" into this whole big long thing and have been throwing shade for most of your replies.
Second, I'm asking if this device will do something that many other devices do. Just because you don't like the question, doesn't make it the wrong one.
Third, I intentionally left off the make/model of the modem to minimize the "Have you tried doing this?" posts that I didn't want. As if I hadn't tried any of the things y'all would've said to log into the modem to try. The cable modem given to us from Altice One needs the DHCP on and the WiFi on for the DVR's to work. Period. Turning those functions off is not an option.
Lastly, I've managed to solve the issue by setting up VLANs on the Cisco switch so that the only devices getting an IP from the cable modem are the DVR devices.
You can reply if you like, but I'm done with this post, and most likely the community as well.
Good day.

Yes it does.
It has its own WiFi and dhcp and NAT. I already hate the damn thing.

Some can be put in bridge/modem only mode.
What model do you have?

It has that option but it's greyed out...

You can put your netgear in AP (access point) mode.
What modem is it? Some of them have to be done by the isp. Have you checked with them.

I don't want the Orbi in AP mode. I want it handling all my traffic because I have specific routes for VPN, DDNS, etc.
