You can hook the router with the internet interface into the lan, it speaks dhcp on this port. Since nearly all commercial router have dhcp enabled by default (and that's good in my eyes since it make things much easier), it shouldn't be a common situation. As I talked with wbx, if you don't like it anyway after my arguments, I'll revert it.
