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.
