  DHCP Relay: Select Relay, then you will see the next screen, and the modem router will work 

as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers 
that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the 
device's interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP requests 
from local PCs will forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function 
working properly, please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN port, 
and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry.
