    What modem/gateway are you using? 

     

    The WAC124 is by default an Access point and comes in access point mode. meaning it doesn't have a dhcp server running. You can switch it so it'll function as a router but it needs to be done through the settings. Page 23 and 163 are beneficial to changing modes on this. 

    Find the manual here:
