I'll bite. _Which_ "the DHCP setting" do you seek? Why? Is there
some actual problem which you are trying to solve? Care to share?

Yup. And you want to do _what_, exactly?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read? Look for
"DHCP"?

So far as I know, Netgear consumer-grade routers do not support user
control over such DHCP server/served parameters.https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home
I wouldn't hold my breath.

Seriously this feels like a piece of garbage if I can't stay connected.
