Configuring the RoamAbout R1 for a Static IP Address
Perform the following steps to configure the RoamAbout R1 for a static IP address:
1.
Click on WAN in the Main page.
2.
Click on the Static IP Address radio button, and then click on More Configuration.
3.
Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway provided to you by your ISP in the
appropriate fields. You recorded these numbers earlier when you configured your
computer to connect to the RoamAbout R1.
4.
Click SAVE when finished.
A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web addresses. If you
type a Web address into your browser, such as www.whitehouse.gov, a DNS server
will find that name in it's index and find the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92.
Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you are connecting
to the Internet with static IP settings, it's likely that your ISP has also provided DNS
server addresses.
5.
Enter the DNS server address(es) in the spaces provided.

Many ISP's use modems that automatically configure. Sometimes connection
information is stored on the modem and needs to be updated. You may need to shut
down and restart your modem after the configuration is complete.
7.
Restart your modem by removing the power, waiting a few seconds, and then
reconnecting it.
The configuration is complete and your RoamAbout R1 is now connected to the
Internet. There are also some advanced configuration options that may be configured,
but changing these options is not recommended unless needed. For instructions for the
advanced configuration options, refer to the RoamAbout R1 SOHO Access Point
User's Guide located on the CD.
