DHCP Server Mode: DHCP Server
To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check DHCP Server. You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Apply to enable this function.

DHCP Server Mode: DHCP Relay
If you check DHCP Relay and then you must enter the IP address of the DHCP server
