Hi,

Just want to verify that the Deco X4300 Pro provides no ability to control "Smart" (roflmao) DHCP functionality. I see firmware that exists for other models like the M5 that allow you to turn this off IF YOU USE AP mode (why not router mode?), but it doesn't appear that this is available for the X4300? Are there plans to provide this functionality?

Also want to verify that if I install a DHCP server for my newly setup Windows Active Directory, if that DHCP server is lost for even a short period of time (as Deco uses a ridiculously short non-standard DHCP lease period), the Deco will "smartly" take over as a DHCP server and start feeding itself as the gateway and a completlely different subnet to all of my poor Active Directory clients, wreaking havoc on my entire network?

If this is the case, then I wasted a lot of money for a product that has a DHCP implementation the likes of which I have never seen in my 20 years of configuring 100's of wireless routers/APs for friends, work and myself. IN THAT TIME I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT ONE COULD NOT DISABLE DHCP  DIRECTLY THROUGH CONFIGURATION ON THE ROUTER / AP.

Looking forward to your confirmation of my expensive paper weight!

Kind Regards,

Matthew
