Yeah, ISP routers suck. You wouldn’t believe how bad the one I use is. If you turn off DHCP on the router you lose the ability to set the router’s IP address and netmask. (And the netmask is locked to a /32). The only way to set the router’s IP address is to turn on DHCP, while DHCP is on set the router’s address, and then turn off DHCP. Needless to say, the router’s DHCP is completely off.
Thanks for the details.
