NetGear Router | WAN / LAN IP Conflict issue
I recently had an issue on my XR1000 where I was not able to apply IP address reservation in the LAN setup page, due to the router reporting back that the LAN IP range is in conflict with the WAN IP....

The only reason I encountered this issue and found the cause was because I have pi-hole on my LAN serving DNS, so I had it's IP as the DNS server in the WAN setup page. I'm guessing its something like, the code behind the scenes scrapes IPs matching with regex or something and checks all IPs on the WAN setup page against the LAN IPs in the LAN setup page, then gives the error message of conflicting WAN / LAN IPs if match is found.
I have looked everywhere (I think) on the netgear site, but they don't make it clear where to report bug. Would you know where I could do this?
