SXK80 VLAN DHCP helper function?

I have a homelab and bought the SXK80 router in hoping of fiddling around with VLANs more.

I run a Windows based DHCP server in Hyper-V.

My old network was 10.0.0.X, so when I brought my new network online I just enabled VLAN5 on the SXK80, made it 10.0.0.X, and then made other VLANs within the 10.0.X.X range.

The issue I'm running into is that while I can turn off DHCP on the SXK80's VLANs, there doesn't appear to be a means of pointing them to my Windows DHCP server, unless they're on that VLAN.

Am I missing something here?

    Good suggestion in AP mode. I have raised the ticket internally. We will prioritize the feature.

      BruceGuo in both AP and router mode. And add the possibility to define 1..3 devices on the LAN for serving DNS res. a DNS relay.
