• DHCP client:
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies your system to the ISP's
server.
Use Unicasting: 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.
• PPPoE client:
Dynamic IP: Use this option when your ISP's servers assign the router's IP address upon establishing a connection.
Static IP: Use this option when you’re assigned a fixed IP address by your ISP.
