@SteveWex perhaps you're right. The thing is every cheap router has the ability to turn off dhcp. This is by no means an advanced feature. It makes sense. A simple built in dhcp service for the masses. You want something more complex turn it off and establish your own. Anyway I think this is a lost cause.i still have time to return. 

  @jijookhier sorry mate long day. You didn't deserve my response. Super frustrated with this purchase. 

  @JPR99 

i agree i just brought be64 and its the first thing i tried to disable. Going to have to send it back and look at other vendors. Will look at the hack first just in case.

  @MikeMikee it's a real shame. Good luck with the hack. Let me know how it goes.
