WAN

Dynamic IP Address

Dynamic IP A method of connection where the your ISP Address: assigns your IP address when your router requests one from the ISP’s server. Some ISP’s require you to make some settings on your side before your router can connect to

the Internet.

Host Name: The Host Name is optional, but some ISPs may require it. The Host Name identifies your router to the ISP’s server. This way they know your router is eligible to receive an IP address.

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.
