    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.
