Has anyone ever switched a router from a DNS to a DHCP? I got this new netgear router that keeps asking for static IP address...

The thing is though....

My ISP only has dynamic IP address....


So my question is, has anyone ever switched a Netgear rp614v3 router to a DHCP from a DNS?


If so....HOW?!?!

*hates talking to his ISP....:mean:*

    Your terminology is messed up, but I think I understand what your asking.

    You should be able to connect to your router through your browser by going to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1

    Then likely on it's first page it'll have connection info with several options like Static, Dynamic or PPPoE. Pick the protocol you need and fill in the required connection information.

    That's for the outside interface of the router ie. the connection between your ISP and your router. That router will also likely act as an internal DHCP server to hand out address to your home computers. I wouldn't tweak these settings for now until you get your outside interface up and running.

    My old router was a TP link with the basic IP of 192.168.1.1.

    This netgear router is different though. When accessed using the correct 192.168 settings from IP config put into IE. The same thing comes up. Netgear "Automatic Detection Wizard"...which is incorrectly telling me that my ISP is Static.....:confused::confused::wtf:

    There is absolutely NOTHING else on ANY of the first pages expect for "Next" (to start the detection wizard) and "Quit" (Which closes the window...):sad2::sad2:


    I think this is the detail you were looking for....

    Edit: Finally got it working...not through a 192.168 address though...Through www.routerlogin.net/basicsettings.htm :wtf:
