> Before the DHCP server for the configuration network (here **net1**) is deactivated, it must be ensured that the configuration computer does not obtain its IP address in this network from the DHCP server of the router, i.e. has a static IP address in this network.
> 
> If DHCP servers are active in the other networks of the router, it is recommended to check, whether these can be deactivated, if applicable.
