Dynamic WAN IP Address
If you did not receive a fixed (static) IP address from your ISP, select WAN
IP Dynamic. The window in Figure 6 is displayed. By entering the IP
address of up to two DNS servers, the IP address of the WAN port on the
router will be assigned dynamically each time a connection is
established.

The fields in the window are defined below. Your ISP will provide you
with the necessary information.
Domain Name: The domain where the DNS server is located.
Computer Name: The name of the router.
Force DHCP Renew: The method by which the router determines how
often it must renew the lease on its IP address. In order for the router to
continue to use an IP address obtained from an ISP, it must occasionally
renew the address lease. This renewal is to prevent the ISP from
assigning the IP address to another device. Normally, the ISP will notify
the router of the time interval required for renewal of the IP lease. The
Force DHCP Renew option is used for situations where the ISP does not
provide the time interval. By activating this option and entering a time
interval (in minutes), you control how often the router renews its lease
of the IP address with the ISP.
