I am hoping someone can assist. Using 47665 with a VPN connected. The ddwrt router is connected via ethernet cable to a LAN port on my main router. Today I had an issue where one of the devices connected to a LAN port on the ddwrt router managed to pick up a LAN IP from my main router. How can I stop this from happening?

The main router must be connected to the WAN port of the dd-wrt router.
Or you have assigned WAN port to LAN.

You had an "issue", what actually happened did the router rebooted and during reboot the client acquired a IP address from the primary router?

Really not sure just noticed a device had picked up a IP address from my Google router and not the R7800 Netgear ddwrt router.

Other then the time setting everything looks good.
Server IP/Name can best be left blank as stated in the help text.
But this is not related to the problem you mentioned.
The router is up for 15 hours 14 minute, did it happen at that time? _________________ Routers:Netgear R7000, R6400v1, R6400v2, EA6900 (XvortexCFE), E2000, E1200v1, WRT54GS v1.

If so disable wireless
I can not come up with another explanation.
This is what is confusing. No WiFi at all on the client that had the issue but it 100% picked up a 192.168.86 IP address
