What is true when the DHCP setting is disabled in a wireless network?

  1. Wireless clients must use a static IP address

  2. Wireless clients can use dynamic IP addresses

  3. Wireless clients will be disconnected automatically

  4. Wireless clients must connect to the router directly

The correct answer is: Wireless clients must use a static IP address

When the DHCP setting is disabled in a wireless network, clients cannot automatically receive an IP address from the router. Instead, wireless clients must be manually assigned a static IP address to connect to the network. This is because DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is responsible for dynamically assigning IP addresses to devices on the network. If DHCP is disabled, it no longer serves that function, meaning each device must have its IP address configured manually to ensure proper communication within the network. This setup requires careful planning to avoid IP address conflicts and to ensure that all devices are on the same subnet.
