How do I disable the DHCP Server in the router?

Answer

To disable the Timid DHCP server in the router,

Login to the router via SSH

(please do not attempt to do this if you are not familiar with a UNIX or Linux environment. Mistyping may result in serious errors and the router will cease to function)

Once you are logged in, at the command prompt type

cd /etc

followed by

cd rc

Now you are in the directory /etc/rc

Here, type the following and hit enter (please be careful to type in the exact information)

mv 12dns-dhcpd.run 12dns-dhcpd.old

That will take the dhcpd start file out of the runlist upon restarting.

Reboot the router and ensure proper router function.
Confirm that the *dhcp* service is not starting.
(Watch for at least 120 seconds)

NOTE you will no longer be able to login to the BR2
(web interface or otherwise) via 192.168.88.89.
The BR2 will only be accessible at its fixed IP address.
Keep a careful record of this IP address.
