| Jul 2, 2019 at 5:48 | comment | added | HMZ | @user56700 ah! so if DHCP is disabled on the old router, connected clients through it will automatically discover the DHCP server that is the new router? | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 5:48 | comment | added | Cow | Enabled means, that the AP is the DHCP server and therefore will give IP addresses to the clients connected. Relay means, that something else on your network is the DHCP server, for instance, if you have another router. The Relay IP address is the other routers IP address. The AP will then relay the DHCP packets to the clients connected. Relay is typically used, when the other DHCP server is on another IP subnet on your network. When disabled the AP clients will only be able to get DHCP, if the other DHCP server is on the same subnet as the AP and the clients connected. | |
