assigned and is not known prior to assignment.
To configure the router for a DHCP connection:
1.
From the Home page, click Setup and then click New Connection.
The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed as the default setup.
2.
In the Type dropdown select DHCP.
The DHCP connection setup page is displayed.
3.
In the Name text box enter a unique name for the DHCP connection
The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.
