Connecting the modem/router to your ISP's Wi-Fi network lets you treat it like a switch, but be aware the ISP might monitor all connected devices. This isn't ideal for security reasons.

@ForeverZero Check the setup guidelines provided. Make sure the static private IP you choose isn't part of the DHCP range used by the upstream gateway, or you may face conflicts. It might be better to assign the IP directly at the gateway, as some systems let you do that using MAC addresses. What are your thoughts on this?

He seems to be dealing with a situation where multiple DHCP servers are active on the same network segment, or there are no DHCP servers functioning at all. The modem/router is essentially just handling double NATs, which usually isn't a major concern.

The proof provided indicates a rival DHCP server clash, which explains why the related steps are needed to turn off the duplicate on the backup router.

Certainly! If the opposing server comes from the modem or router and is on the wide area network, it won't cause issues.

Hey everyone! Thanks for your message. I’ve been away from my PC a lot on weekdays, but I finally got my router set up as an access point a couple of days ago. No problems so far, just keeping an eye out. I’ll reach out again if anything changes.
