DHCP

Hello so today I am wondering since I have a gateway from my isp it’s in bridge mode but I am wondering if i should disable DHCP on the Xr500 I disabled it last night and gameplay felt amazing but for some odd reason my phone and my ps4 were connected to the internet fine but my computer wasn’t connecting

    Set up some IP address reservations for your devices as well. 

    DHCP NEEDS to be enabled at all times. Unless you have external DHCP server.
