Disable DHCP

Post by RandomGeeza »

Hi All,

On the 7800 DXL, is there a way to disable DHCP. I have assigned static IPs to all my devices and want to lock out some rogue freeloader who has hacked the powerline in my apartment.

I am aware that powerlines can be made secure, however the utility provided with my units does not function on OSX 10.9 and as such, with them now unplugged, it has secured my network again but rendered my setup useless.

Any advice, even command line would be appreciated.

I also have static IP addresses for all my devices and they are entered in the hosts file which makes accessing them easier in various programs. But to keep others out it is better to use the MAC Address feature in the router. If the device trying to connect isn't in you MAC Address list (set MAC Restrict Mode to Allow) then they can't connect even if they have the passphrase.
