DHCP Client
Select this button to enable DHCP to set network address
information via this LAN1 or LAN2 connection. This is
recommended if the access point resides within a large corporate
network or the Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP. This
setting is enabled for LAN1 by default.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters
from a DHCP server to a host. If DHCP Client is selected, the first
DHCP or BOOTP server to respond sets the IP address and network
address values since DHCP and BOOTP are interoperable.
