Configure Connection 1 for DHCP for WAN
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the gateway to automatically obtain the IP address from a
DHCP server on the service provider’s network. The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of
addresses available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so it will
likely be the same address each time the Router requests an IP address.
