I presume that like most routers a DHCP server is enabled on the router by default. If so all you will need to do is reboot,

Assuming your router has DHCP enabled it's automatic. After connecting check Menu/System/Network. You should see entries for IP address etc.
If not Choose configure internet and make sure configure IP is set to DHCP.

what is dhcp is there a way of checking if the router as itDHCP is the protocol that the router uses to allocate local IP addresses to devices. I would be very surprised if any router did not support DHCP. If you log into the routers control panel and look around you should find a reference to DHCP; alternatively tell us the make and model of router.
