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.

   Then you should do that.  But, as your picture shows, your R7000 is
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.

   Not according to your picture.

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