WN2500RP DHCP Ranges

Is it possible to set ranges for DHCP addresses from the WN2500RP? Here's my issue:

Netgear Wireless router upstairs with WN2500RP downstairs. Static IP assigned to WN2500RP of 192.168.1.200. I connect to the WN2500RP wireless network and am assigned IP address 192.168.1.5. At some point later, another device is the house connects to the main Netgear router upstairs and also gets 192.168.1.5, which boots the device on the WN2500RP offline.

Is there any way to limit the DHCP ranges on the WN2500RP to a range different then my main router?

Maybe configure your upstairs ROUTER to the upper range of addresses. While this does not isolate the 2500 to specific addresses, it will start @ the lower ones and hopefully will never need to assign the upper range of addresses and interfere with the upstairs router.

I don't think issues is in WN2500rp. It is the router which are not handle the DHCP correctly.

WN2500RP IP conflict on Network with Netgear R6300 Router

I have just purchased 2 WN2500RP range extenders and am facing the same problem and my main router is also from Netgear R6300 which I assumed would work perfectly since they are from the same manufacturer. It seems to be allocating the same IP address to different devices within the same network. How can this issue be resolved?
