There is a new option for "Option 44" in the DHCP options which refers to netbios setting and I cannot find any documentation on it. Does anyone have a link that tells me what it does?

NetBIOS is about as relevant these days as an 8-track. Move along, nothing to see here.

See hxxps://networkencyclopedia[.]com/dhcp-options/ for description of Option 44.

WINS is very rarely used, where it is used would be for old legacy systems that shouldn't really still exist in 2023.

 

I'm kind of surprised that this option was added, and still missing actually useful options such as 33, 66+67.

 

TP-Link, please stop messing about and give us access to all the official ones:
