Netgear Nighthawk AX5400 please help!!

Hey guys!! I’m in need of some help!! I am trying to but GliNet Brume 2 before my router (netgear nighthawk ax5400) as a gateway and have vpn/adguard setup!

Since I need to disable DHCP on my netgear in order for this to work, or change DHCP server to my IP of my brume 2. Few issues. Idk how to change DHCP server.. second.. can’t turn off dhcp in AP mode.

Well. I turned off dhcp on router, but brume doesn’t say that it’s actually off so I was going to set the dhcp server.

Had to reset router twice lol because I turned off dhcp and could not re connect. Long story short spent a few hours trying to set this up and very frustrated now!

Please help lol!

In AP mode, dhcp is disabled. Its the primary router that manages it. 

If you're going glinet--->netgear

then AP mode is the ideal option to leave the glinet managing everything. 

Current setup: CM2000-> RBE973S-> Trendnet TEG-S380-> GS716T-> pi-hole
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80

Disabled Features on the Router when set to AP Mode | Answer | NETGEAR Support

Just another user with a set of boilerplate macros.

My network DM200 -> MK93; R7800 -> GS316 -> PL1000 -> R7000P

You might want to check with glinet. 

Again, when the netgear is in access point mode, the glinet is managing everything. It might be how you have your vpn/ad guard setup

also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80
