cant change IP address range values in LAN DHCP setting

What was the purpose of erasing the LAN setup display to show only the last parts? (2 and 254) Since the erased part is supposed to be 10.0.0, there is nothing "sensitive" about this information.

Looks like it has been changed and disabled to avoid double NAT with the ISP gateway.

The internet setup screen clearly shows the router is connected to a gateway, since the WAN is a 192.168.1.x address.
But double NAT is not as evil as many posters here suggest, and isn't related to the problem vish_at is asking about. The only ways to avoid double-NAT are to set up the ISP gateway in bridge mode, or set up the MR60 as an AP. Disabling the LAN DHCP server range settings won't do it.

That would be good to know. Often the goal is to allow some static IP addresses. But whatever the reason, it should work.
vish_at - have you tried changing the starting IP address from 2 to 6? Does that also fail to stick?
Have you tried doing a factory reset of the router?

Want to reserve static IP for PI-hole as per this screen. https://snipboard.io/qVEaYs.jpg
Again, as soon as I click Apply, the router reboots and reservation goes away and router goes back to default set up. No changes work, everything goes back to default.
