Hi Jack-L-Lantern ,
I just PM you a link for the RS700 trial firmware that fixes the issue. Could you give it a try to see if it fixes the issue on your network? We could reproduce the issue and we have confirmed the trial firmware fixes the issue in our setup.
Thank you.

I have the same issue. I've confirmed via Wireshark traces that the router is continuing to respond to DHCP requests even though the DHCP server in the router is disabled.
