Built-in Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration

assign IP addresses to each computer
automatically so there is no need for a
complicated networking setup.

computer to be fully exposed to the
Internet. This function is used when NAT
and firewall security prevent an Internet

NAT IP Address Sharing
Your modem employs Network
Address Translation (NAT) to share the
single IP address assigned to you by
your Internet Service Provider while
saving the cost of adding additional
IP addresses to your Internet service
account.
