the lease is automatically renewed on expiry; use the "Re-
new" button if you wish to manually renew the lease
immediately.
• If "Disabled", the Internet IP Address from your ISP is
Fixed or Static. In this case, the "Release/Renew" button is

Release/Renew
This button is only useful if the IP address shown above is
allocated automatically on connection. (Dynamic IP address).
Otherwise, it has no effect.
• This button will say "Release" if the Wireless Broadband
router is currently using an IP Address allocated by the
ISP's DHCP Server. Clicking the "Release" button will re-
lease the IP Address and break the connection.
• If the button says "Renew", this indicates that the ISP's
DHCP Server has not allocated an IP Address for the
Wireless Broadband router. Clicking the "Renew" button
will re-establish the connection and obtain an IP Address
from the ISP's DHCP Server.
