Disable the DHCP Server Feature in the Cradle
By default, the cradle acts as a DHCP server. The cradle assigns IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the cradle.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network
settings of all your computers.
To disable the DHCP server feature in the cradle:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
Smart Cradle.

In the address field of the browser, enter
http://netgear.cradle
or
http://192.168.100.1
.
A login prompt displays.
