Description
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed
IP address, the router finds an IP address for you automatically when
you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP.
If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP has provided you
with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address, and type
the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address in the correct
fields.
For example:
• IP Address. 24.218.156.183
• Subnet Mask. 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address. 24.218.156.1
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their
names.
• If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These
DNS Servers, and type the primary and secondary addresses.
• Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.
Note: If you get "Address not found" errors when you go to a website, it
is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly. You should
contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
Your computer's local address is its unique address on your network.
This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access Control)
address.
• Usually, select Use Default MAC Address.
• If your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either Use
Computer MAC Address to disguise the router's MAC address with
the computer's own MAC address, or select Use This MAC Address
and manually type the MAC address for a different computer.
The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value
might be changed if Use Computer MAC Address is selected once a
value has already been set in the Use This MAC Address selection.
