I have an Xfinity/Comcast Gateway modem/router. I can login and manage settings. As I was in there looking at settings but not making any changes, I looked at the connected devices. One desktop is ethernet connected and one laptop is wifi connected. I also have a moca connection for two TiVo boxes. So I am not sure that messing with dhcp management would be such a good idea.
I think for the moment I will leave things as they are.
I really do appreciate one and all assisting, I was able to resolve my original problem with a work around provided here.
Hi again - been off my forums for a day and just read your post above - from our previous discussion and the fact that your new AP Extreme was setup as a 'bridge' implies that your Xfinity modem/router is presumably controlling your DHCP; then the additional info about your 2 TiVo boxes further complicates your setup - not sure that I would want to try to experiment w/ the DHCP management - if all is working to your satisfaction, then maybe a 'hands off' attitude is best - Dave
ADDENDUM: If you change your mind and/or if another member 'chimes in' w/ advice, please provide the model number of your Xinfinity modem/cable (so one may look up the manual) and what is the exact 'topology' of your network, i.e. what cables emerge from the Comcast router and where do they connect; how is your AP Extreme cabled; and how are the TiVo boxes setup? May help if you thread continues. Thanks again - Dave
