    It is easiest by far to have one subnet in your small network and have one (only) DHCP server. If you use your ISP modem/router subnet and network, put the DHCP server there. If your own router sets up the subnet and network, use DHCP in your router. But have only one DHCP server

  • Thanks @John! My own router creates the WIFI we are using. But the modem connects to the NAS which we connect to. So I should set up the DHCP on the router? Also: Since I plugged the router to the modem via LAN (instead of WAN) I can not access the admin panel of the router anymore. Anything wrong with this config?

    Connect a LAN port on your WiFi router to a LAN port on the modem. Give the WiFi Router a static IP on the modem and then turn DHCP OFF on the WiFi router. That also puts everything on one subnet.
