RAX78 AP Mode - Disable DHCP?
I am using my RAX78 in AP mode and I need to disable DHCP. Everything seems to be working fine but I'm told that I should disable (true?). The LAN SETUP option is greyed out under ADVANCED > SETUP > LAN Setup. Does having my router in AP mode automatically disable DHCP or do I need to take me router out of AP Mode, disable DHCP, and then put it back in AP Mode?
I am connected to a CAX30 with Wi-Fi disabled.... THANK YOU!

Yes, in AP mode, DHCP is disabled. With your configuration, the CAX30 is performing the routing functions for your LAN.
