Those private network "192.168.x.y" addresses that are assigned to all the devices in one's home are provided by a local DHCP server on premises.

However, none of these turn-key devices provide advanced DHCP features such as filename or next-server. For that, you have to disable the DHCP server in the router/gateway and provide a separate DHCP server yourself
