Setting Up a Public Routed Subinterface
The Public Routed Subinterface pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband network-
accessible IP addresses by creating a route from the Internet to the specified public network. The public
network operates without Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically used in conjunction
with broadband service that provides a range of available IP addresses. Once enabled, the public IP
addresses can be assigned to local computers.
To set up a Public Routed Subinterface network:
1. Check the Enable checkbox.
2. In the Router Address field, enter the router address (this is typically provided by your service provider).
3. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask (this is typically provided by your service provider).
4. (Optional) To open all firewall ports, check the Auto Firewall Open checkbox. (By default, your firewall
protection is enabled.)
5. Click SAVE .
Note: If you change the home network IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on
all devices on your home network and manually reconfigure all devices configured with static IP
addresses. If you are using the 2Wire Network Support Tool, you can renew the DHCP lease by
selecting “Refresh Network Connection” in the Network Support Tool menu.
