This feature allows the router to be used with a low-cost Internet connection supporting dynamic IP address assignment.

Then the prompt
WAN IP Mode	: Fixed/Assigned
will appear.

Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) use dynamic IP address assignment for which a different IP address can be assigned with each connection. If this is the case with your ISP, the option Assigned should be selected with no Wan IP address entered. Other ISP's use a fixed Wan IP address dedicated to your account. In this case, you should set the Wan IP address option to Fixed and type in the dedicated Wan IP address.
