You should be able to take it out of DHCP mode.

D-Link that is new turned into a SW is connected by LAN port to the other
device LAN port. You'll need to set the Device IP of the D-link to a
static IP of the other device so that the machines on both devices can
share resources and access the Internet.
You should call D-link Tech support for the proper setup of the D-link
The above is what I did to connect the Linksys BEF11S4 router that was
turned into a wireless SW and connected into the WatchGuard SOHO 6.
