What is DHCP-
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) helps your devices connect to a network automatically.
How it works:
A device connects to the network
It asks for network settings
️ The router assigns an IP address
The device is ready to go online
Why DHCP is important:
No manual IP setup
Prevents IP address conflicts
Makes managing many devices easy
Easy way to think about it:
Router = hotel front desk
Device = guest
IP address = room key
Everything happens automatically so your internet just works.
