Section 3 - Configuration
A method of connection where the your ISP
assigns your IP address when your router
requests one from the ISP’s server. Some
ISP’s require you to make some settings on
your side before your router can connect to
the Internet.
The Host Name is optional, but some ISPs
may require it. The Host Name identifies
your router to the ISP’s server. This way they
know your router is eligible to receive an IP
address.
This option is normally turned off, and should
remain off as long as the WAN-side DHCP
server correctly provides an IP address to the
router. However, if the router cannot obtain
an IP address from the DHCP server, the
DHCP server may be one that works better
with unicast responses. In this case, turn the
unicasting option on, and observe whether
the router can obtain an IP address. In this
mode, the router accepts unicast responses
from the DHCP server instead of broadcast
responses.
