can't find the the DHCP settings on the Nighthawk AX3000 AX4: RAX35

Question

I'm trying to setup a new router for my family, however I can not find the DHCP setting anywhere, the router's menus seem

very simplified and I can not for the life of me find any options related to DHCP except in ADVANCED>Setup>Lan Setup, which is to use the router as a DHCP server.

any help would be appreciated.

&gt; I'm trying to configure the lease time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So far as I know, Netgear consumer-grade routers do not support usercontrol over such DHCP server/served parameters.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I wouldn't hold my breath.

Well, the old router our family had was netgear and disconnected us every 2 hours. I just found after testing this one this one disconnects us at around 2 hours 45 minutes. So I need to configure the DHCP settings.Seriously this feels like a piece of garbage if I can't stay connected.
