The IP address conflicts with the WAN IP subnet
Old thread yes I know, but I recently solved this myself through some troubleshooting, as I had the same issue.
In the "internet setup" page in settings, do you have any LAN IP's entered in your DNS servers? i.e. do you have primary DNS set as your LAN IP of the router, or any other internal devices like a DNS server on your LAN?? This problem should not exist, but I guess its just a bug in the programming or an oversight in the router firmware, but try changing DNS servers to something external like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, THEN try modifying your LAN config, you might find that the error message no longer exists.
