CONFIGURING A STATIC IP ADDRESS

Set a static IP address if all WAN IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter in the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four numbers (up to three digits each) separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format.
