Disable the Built-In DHCP Server

By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. The modem router assigns IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all devices connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address
of the modem router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network settings of all your computers.
Note If you disable the DHCP server and no other DHCP server is available on your network, you
must set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the modem router.
To disable the built-in DHCP server:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
