Quick router question?

Question

Should I leave the option on my router settings set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP?" I have DSL and other options ask me to enter a username/password, but my DSL provider didn't give me a username or password, I've always just been connected to the internet. Other options include Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Telstra Cable. I think all of them, except DHCP, have username and password fiels, so I'm guessing I should just leave it set to the first option that doesn't require a username and password? Thanks.

Answer 1

just leave it to DHCP, unless you knew your IP and DNS settings of your provider so that you can use Static IP setting

Answer 2

Leave it at DHCP if your provider didn't give you anything.  It will get it's IP address from the modem.
