•
Disabled
: Select this setting if there is already a DHCP server on your
network and all devices on your network are using static IP addresses.
•
DHCP Server
: By default, your Modem Router is set as a DHCP server. See
more details below.
•
DHCP Relay
: Select this setting to set your Modem Router as a DHCP Relay
agent. See description on the next page.
NOTE: If you want to set your Modem Router as a DHCP server, make sure
there is no other DHCP server on your network.
DHCP Server
If you set your Modem Router as the DHCP server, your Modem Router will
automatically assign an IP address to each computer on your network. By default,
the fields for DHCP settings have predefined values. It is recommended to retain
these values unless specified by your ISP.
