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.
in the glinet when it set to "drop in gateway" for vpn, adgaurd to work, it still says dhcp is enabled even when router is in AP mode
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
