Model: Archer BE800

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.6 Build 20230706 rel.60826(5553)

Looking to shrink my DHCP scope to get some address space for static IPs. But the DHCP server is randomly assigning addresses all over the scope,

What would be the best way to shrink the scope from the top or bottom by 50 addresses without the need to reboot all devices in the house?

reduce the scope, then restart the router and it should assign new ips in the new range.
