Argumentation
All few members of the small (W)LAN have static IP
addresses, including the AST570.
For small home (W)LANs it might be worthwhile to
configure all of your (W)LAN devices as DHCP client
and the AST570 as the DHCP server.
In this configuration each time a compute start it will
obtain its IP configuration from the AST570.
For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server might
be performed by an IP node other than the AST570
on the local (W)LAN.
Typically such functions are attributed to home
gateways: computers having better networking
capabilities than the other PC(s) on the home (W)LAN.
All local PCs remain configured as DHCP clients,
including the AST570.
