 DHCP: Select Enabled, then you will see the screen below. The modem router will work as a
DHCP Server; it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. DHCP stands
for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP Server gives out IP addresses when a device
is booting up and request an IP address to be logged on to the network. That device must be
set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically. By default, the DHCP Server is
enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the IP address that will automatically
be assigned to the clients on the network.
