Overview	Section 1

Dynamic IP Address

A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP number, dynamically or randomly generated by a DHCP server. The address lasts only as long as the server allots, usually in the space of a day or two. When the IP address expires, the client is automatically reassigned a new IP address, ensuring smooth communication.

If you are using your wireless router to share an Internet connection, your ISP might have assigned you a dynamic IP address, which you use when configuring your router. See Section 3: Configuration.

DHCP Server

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server assigns IP addresses to clients connected to the router. A client is any wireless device that can connect with your router. The client (PC, gaming device, etc.) is automatically assigned an IP address every time a wireless device is added to your network, which frees you from manually assigning IP addresses.
