If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should '''turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode'''. You can do that by clicking the "Basic" button under "Mode", which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI.

If you have a dedicated DHCP server on your LAN network, relay configuration would still work with additional configuration. In this example, we will configure relay to forward IP address from DHCP server’s LAN network – 192.168.1.0/24. In this case, DHCP server is another Teltonika router. First of all, there should be no changes in the previously mentioned RUT2 relay configuration:

In this case, DHCP server is another Teltonika router. First of all, there should be no changes in the previously mentioned RUT2 relay configuration:
* Enable WiFi WAN and connect to RUT1's WiFi Access Point.
* Enable WiFi WAN and connect to RUT1's WiFi Access Point.
If you've taken all of the steps described above, the RUT2 relay configuration is done. Since there is a DHCP server running, there is one change that should be done in RUT1 LAN settings. Navigate to '''Network → Interfaces → LAN''' and click the [[File:Networking rutx manual edit button v1.png]] '''Edit''' button.

After you have clicked the '''Edit''' button, the settings window will appear. In the '''General Settings''' section click on '''Protocol''' and select '''DHCP''' from the list. Press '''Save & Apply'''.

Once done, Log into your DHCP servers Web interface and navigate to '''Status → Network → LAN'''. Here you should be able to see the DHCP leases from the DHCP server’s IP pool.

*In this case scenario, enabling Relay in '''DHCP server''' settings instead of disabling it RUTxxx device which is in '''Wireless Station mode''' will '''not''' redirect received '''DHCP request messages''' to another specified '''DHCP server (AP)'''.
