Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Router Model SXR50 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Satellite Model SXS50

Disable the DHCP server for a LAN

By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and
default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default
gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or specify the network
settings of all your computers.
To disable a DHCP server feature in the router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi Pro network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security warning and
does not let you proceed, see What to do if you get a browser security warning on
page 30.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you set the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
5. Select the LAN tab for the LAN for which you want to disable the DHCP server: LAN 1,
LAN 2, LAN 3, LAN 4, or LAN 5.
The LAN Setup page displays.
6. Clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box.
7. Click the Apply button.
8. (Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network,
set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the router.

Reserved LAN IP addresses

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on a LAN, that computer always
receives the same LAN IP address each time it accesses the router's DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to devices (such as servers) that require permanent IP settings.
