Add instructions how to re-enable DHCP (#2600)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In WiFi.config, if we pass 0.0.0.0 for all three parameters (as local_ip, gateway and subnet mask), it will re enable the DHCP. We need to re connect the device to get the IP from router.

Please note that station with static IP configuration usually connects to the network faster. In the above example it took about 500ms (one dot `.` displayed). This is because obtaining of IP configuration by DHCP client takes time and in this case this step is skipped.
