R6400V2 ignores DHCP Settings
Hi guys!
So I've connected my r6400v2(wan-port) to my existing network. Then i disabled the dhcp server at the 6400v2 but it totally ignores this option? I just want to use it as a access point but the ap-mode is forcing a new subnet.
A short network overview:
Router(internet provider) -> Switch at this switch all devices of that level -> one lan cable from the swich to another level connected to the r6400v2 via wan port
im glad for any ideas, if there is no (easy) solution its ok, its just easier to manage devices with only 1 router.
regards
richi

That's not AP mode.
Why not just use the proper setting?
