DHCP issue
Hello Guys, I was just wanting confirmation if the EAX20 and the EX3110 do not have dhcp servers.
I am trying to connect the EX3110 to the EAX20 which it does but it cannot get an ipaddress. it works with a manual ip address. So ok I thought I will just turn on dhcp in the EX3110 but cant find it, ok I will just turn it on in the EAX20, but again I cannot find the option anywhere, Is this correct do neither of these AP have a DHCP server and if so WHY? Every other Access point I have used has a DHCP server option, What is netgear doing? not allowed to daisy chain? Anyway I just need to confirm that for whatever reason neither of these Ap have DHCP servers.
Thank you

DHCP or dynamically get an IP address is activated by default see page https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EAX20/EAX20_UM_EN.pdf (page 37 - 38 of the manual)
Also for EX3110 : https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX3110/EX3110_UM_EN.pdf (page 25 of the manual)- Margaret76Aspirant
