Disable the DHCP server feature in
the router
By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The 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 router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or manually specify
the network settings of all your devices.
