Help Modifying DHCP Range
Hello,
I am new to the community and this is my first forum post. I am taking a graduate class that requires me to adjust the DHCP range on my router to allow for use of some of the IP addresses for my course work. I am running this on a Windows 10 system. I am fairly new to this area of expertise so when I go into my routerlogin.net settings and attempt to view the DHCP Settings under Advanced>Setup>LAN setup the option to view or set up LAN is greyed out as I have shown in the screenshot below. I cannot find a guide that explains what I need to do to access my LAN set up. I would appreciate any advice or insight on this problem. Thank you in advance.

configured as a wireless access point ("Operation Mode:Access Point"),
not as a router, which disables its DHCP server:Presumably, your R7000 is connected to some actual router, with a
(working) DHCP server, where you could make the desired change.> Model: R6900|Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router

An "ipconfig" command on the Windows system should reveal its
"gateway" IP address, which should be that of your actual router.
