Manual — The routing hardware assigns DHCP clients the DNS servers specified in
the Manual DNS Server #1 and #2 fields.
Use this option to access a DNS server that provides customized addressing or if
you have a local DNS server on your network.
If DNS Relay is disabled, the routing hardware rejects DNS requests targeting the
internal DNS proxy.
● Manual DNS Server #1 and #2 — These are the static IP addresses to use for the DNS
servers (if DNS Mode is Manual); available only if DNS Mode is Manual.
● DNS Relay — If enabled, and if DNS Mode (see above) is Manual, the routing hardware
assigns DHCP clients the DNS servers specified in the Manual DNS Server #1 and #2
fields.
If DNS Relay is set to Disable, the routing hardware rejects DNS requests targeting the
internal DNS proxy.
The DNS Relay field is configurable and displayed only if DNS Mode is Manual. If
DNS Mode is Auto, DNS Relay is enabled by default.
● DHCP Static IP Assignment List — You can assign a permanent IP address to a MAC
address, and view the static IP assignment list. (See "DHCP Static IP Assignment List"

DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) automatically assigns an IP address to each device on
the network and manages other network configuration information for devices connected to your
network. You do not need to manually configure the IP address on each device that's on your
network.
The assigned IP addresses are not permanent (as opposed to when using static IP).
Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) use DHCP.
Normally, you should enable DHCP, in which case you must configure each device on the
network with one of the following:
● TCP/IP settings set to "Obtain an IP address automatically."
● TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet connection with DHCP.
If DHCP is disabled, you must configure each device on the network with:
● Fixed (permanent/static) IP address.
● DNS server addresses (provided by Sprint).
