Converting DHCP responses from broadcast to unicast

To improve the reliability of the delivery of DHCP responses on the WLAN, LCOS versions 8.84 and later give you the option to convert data packets which were sent as a broadcast (and which have no specific addressee, do not use optimized transmission techniques such as ARP spoofing or IGMP/MLD snooping, and have a low data rate) into unicast data packets.

To achieve this in LANconfig, use the setting Convert broadcast DHCP responses to unicast in the dialog Wireless LAN > General > Logical WLAN settings > WLAN network [...] > Transmission.

Tipp: This function is already an integral part of the setting Only transmit unicasts, suppress broadcast and multicasts and does not need to be activated explicitly.
