'''Static''' mode requires that you enter your computer’s MAC address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) and select a lease time (expiration time for the leased address). The device will get an IP address from your GSM operator. Other devices that are connected to the router will get IP addresses from the router’s DHCP server, but they will not have internet access. | '''Static''' mode requires that you enter your computer’s MAC address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) and select a lease time (expiration time for the leased address).

In '''Dynamic''' mode the GSM operator will connect to the router first and give out an IP address to one of your connected devices. The device will be selected at random, therefore, you should usually use Dynamic mode when you have only one device (e.g., computer) connected to the router. When using Passthrough in Dynamic mode, the router‘s LAN DHCP server will be disabled, but it will enabled again automatically when you switch to a different mode. | In '''Dynamic''' mode the GSM operator will connect to the router first and give out an IP address to one of your connected devices.

Leased out addresses will expire after the amount of time specified in this field and the device that was using the lease will have to send a new DHCP request to the router's DHCP server. However, if the device stays connected, its lease will be renewed after half of the specified amount of time passes, e.g., if the lease time is 12 hours, then every 6 hours the device will send a request to the router asking to renew its lease.<br> | |||
