This allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (LAN).
Some ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the appropriate text boxes in the “Broadband Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
