I came across the WiFi router through which dhclient fails to obtain the 
IP address. It sets 0.0.0.0 and it stays this way,

On the other hand, dhcpcd obtains the IP address almost instantly.

Other routers mostly don't have such problem.


Is dhclient not as robust, or outdated as compared to dhcpcd?
