Dynamic IP

A method of connection where the your ISP 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.
The default MAC Address is set to the WAN’s physical interface
MAC address on the Broadband Router. It is not recommended
that you change the default MAC address unless required by
your ISP.
