Static IP Address
A Static IP Address, as the name implies, is an IP address that does not change. Static IP addresses are
also used by cable ISPs, but are not as common as DHCP connections. When you setup your Internet
connection for the first time, your ISP may have given you a specific IP address to enter. If this is the case,
then your ISP uses Static IP addresses. In this case, you should choose Static IP Address as your
connection type unless of course you are installing behind an existing router. Remember, that if you are
installing behind an exiting router, you should choose DHCP as your connection type.
To setup an Internet connection using Static IP, in addition to the IP address assigned by your ISP, you will
need the following information:
•
Subnet Mask
•
Default Gateway
•
Primary DNS
•
Secondary DNS
All of this information is provided by your ISP. This information is used by your ISP to establish your
connection to the Internet. If you are uncertain what any of these values should be, please contact your ISP.
Log in to the Web UI. From the home page click on the Basic Setup tab and then choose the Connect to
the Internet sub-menu. Select Static IP Address from the Connect Using drop down list. The following
screen will be displayed:
