// When using my router, there's an option to renew or release the DHCP lease within the DD-WRT control panel, which I was using frequently, if that means anything to you. I'm familiar with ipconfig, however I rarely if ever use those parameters.
// When using my router I use a static IP of 192.168.1.100, when I plugged in the modem directly I set Windows to use auto configuration, which I may've been incorrectly referring to as DHCP in the Windows sense.

/renew [Adapter] : Renews DHCP configuration for all adapters (if an adapter is not specified) or for a specific adapter if the Adapter parameter is included. This parameter is available only on computers with adapters that are
configured to obtain an IP address automatically. To specify an adapter name, type the adapter name that appears when you use ipconfig without parameters.
