Changing to DHCP on my R6700v3

I was advised by my internet company for my streaming TV services to be sure to be on DHCP with my CA1750 Nighthawk router. I need much faster speed from my router with my 4 tvs, 2 phones and two laptops sharng the wifi. 

I can't seem to find directions that I can understand to make this change.

Can anyone help with this or send me to the right place to follow directions?

Thank you!!

    what modem/gateway do you have? 

    What firmware is on the router? 

    What size is your home (sq ft)?

    What is the interior walls in your home made from?
    Are you streaming on 2.4ghz or 5ghz? 5ghz is much much faster but doesn't broadcast as far or through as much materials. 

    what speeds do you pay for? 

    What speeds do you get hardwired?
