What is DHCP MAC reservation?
DHCP Servers support something called a “DHCP Reservation”, which essentially allows you to provide a pre-set IP address to a specific client based on it’s physical MAC address. This means that the device will always get the same IP address and it will never change (whereas they typically do on occasion).
Is DHCP good for gaming?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to assign dynamic IP addresses to different devices connected to the network. The best thing about DHCP for gaming is that you don’t the manual configuration for connecting to the local devices. The gamers will be able to harness access to the web.
What is the purpose for reservation on DHCP?
When you use DHCP IP reservation, you’re telling your Wi-Fi network to assign the same IP address to a specific device whenever that device connects to your network.
When should I use DHCP?
The primary reason DHCP is needed is to simplify the management of IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, and configuring them manually will likely lead to errors.
Does WiFi have the same IP address?
Each device on your Wi-Fi will have a unique local IP address. No. Two computers with the same IP address will cause issues. They will have similar addresses, but not the same.

This request forwarding is done by the local router gateway of the DHCP client. The broadcast is not forwarded by routers, but configured with DHCP relay, the DHCPDiscover message is repackaged as unicast to the DHCP server.
How does DHCP relay work on Cradlepoint Lan?
A DHCP relay agent receives any DHCP broadcasts on the subnet and forwards them via unicast to the specified IP address on a different subnet. The DHCP server needs to be configured to hand out addresses for the Cradlepoint LAN and NOT the network subnet of where the DHCP server resides.
