400 Bad Request This server does not support the operation

zillah · 16 Aug 2020

Dear All

I have seen many thread like the one I am posting now but I couldn't find a cure ,,,,may be I overlooked or it is hiding somewhere on net I didn't find it
I am trying to set Netgear Nighthawk D8500 with Firmware Version V1.0.3.50_1.0.1 as an Access Point and I was looking to change the LAN IPs then this message popped up

Code:

400 Bad Request This server does not support the operation requested by your client

How can I overcome this issue ?

Thx

I've had the same thought but so far haven't needed to do it but in researching found some pages about using a second Router for the Access Point. Some pages:

set router as access point at DuckDuckGo

I came into possession of a nice Router with the Modem function not working but it makes a nice 4-port switch for expanding a network.

The lan IP and dhcp are tied so you may need to change dhcp first if you just change lan ip you wont get back in unless you manually set your network as dhcp would be wrong

so you may need to change dhcp first

Just tried it now and same message popped up

Yes you are right.
But now I am curious to know why I can't change LAN ip address to whatever I like

What I did I downgraded the firmware from V1.0.3.50_1.0.1 to V1.0.3.44_1.0.1 (one version older) and it worked fine now can change ip address disable DHCP,,,etc
