can't find the the DHCP settings on the Nighthawk AX3000 AX4: RAX35

I'm trying to setup a new router for my family, however I can not find the DHCP setting anywhere, the router's menus seem

very simplified and I can not for the life of me find any options related to DHCP except in ADVANCED>Setup>Lan Setup, which is to use the router as a DHCP server.

 

any help would be appreciated.

   I'll bite.  _Which_ "the DHCP setting" do you seek?  Why?  Is there
some actual problem which you are trying to solve?  Care to share?

   Yup.  And you want to do _what_, exactly?

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read?  Look for
"DHCP"?

I'm trying to configure the lease time.

   So far as I know, Netgear consumer-grade routers do not support user
control over such DHCP server/served parameters.

   I wouldn't hold my breath.

Well, the old router our family had was netgear and disconnected us every 2 hours. I just found after testing this one this one disconnects us at around 2 hours 45 minutes. So I need to configure the DHCP settings.
Seriously this feels like a piece of garbage if I can't stay connected.
