 DHCP Relay: Select Relay, then you will see the following screen, and the modem router will
work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between
computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each
of the device's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP
requests from local PCs will forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this
function working properly, please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the
LAN port, and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry.

DHCP Server IP for Relay Agent: Enter the DHCP server IP Address runs on WAN
side.
