DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-827 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address 
to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP 
Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-827. The
