&gt; [...] Nighthawk Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System 3.6Gbps Router + 2&gt; Satellites.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of that is a model number.&nbsp; Find an actual model number on therouter product label or package.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,and look for Documentation.&nbsp; Get the User Manual (at least).&nbsp; Read.Look for a topic like "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".&nbsp;&gt; [...] Can I disable DHCP on the Mesh router?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Configuring it as a wireless access point would do that.&nbsp; Among otherthings:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://kb.netgear.com/26765&nbsp;&nbsp; Simply disabling the DHCP server should also be possible, but isalmost certainly _not_ what you want to do.&nbsp; Look in the User Manual fora topic like "Disable the DHCP server feature in the router".&nbsp; (Butdon't do that.)
