How does my laptop connect to my internet box for the first time if it has no IP and no cable
In: 2
Your laptop connects to your internet box for the first time using a process called DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol assigns an IP address to your laptop from a pool of available addresses, and it also assigns other network information like the default gateway and DNS servers. Your laptop sends out a DHCP request when it’s connected to the network, and the router responds with the assigned IP address.
