Using router (wgr614v9) as a switch
Good evening,
I have a setup with a router (netgear wgr614v9) which is connected to my main router. I want the devices connected to my netgear router to be assigned ips in the 192.168.1.X-range.. not the 10.0.0.X which is now the case.
I have tried unticking the DHCP-box in the LAN settings.
What more do I need to do?
Thank you for your help and sorry for my lack of network-skills.

Not a very detailed description of that device.

You could configure your antique as a wireless access point. Many
newer models have a convenient mode option to do that, but you'd need to
do it that hard way. See, for example:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1463500
That's written for a Netgear C6300-as-WAP, but the steps are about the
same for any other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP
option. Such as your antique.Note that that scheme leaves the WAN/Internet port on the
router-as-WAP unconnected. (A WAP is all-LAN. A model with the
one-step WAP option effectively reconfigures its WAN/Internet port as
another LAN port. Without the one-step WAP option, you need to use only
the LAN ports.)
