Section 3 - Configuration DHCP DHCP Server: Once the router is properly configured and this DHCP Server option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to the Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to “DHCP” or “Obtain an IP address automatically”.
Section 3 - Configuration Always Broadcast: If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses from the router’s DHCP server as expected, this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the router’s DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets.
