Static IP Parameters
Description
IP Address This is the permanent global IP address for your account. This is the
address that is visible outside your private network. Get this from your
ISP.
Subnet Mask This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get this from your ISP.
ISP Gateway Address
This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router. It provides the
connection to the Router for IP routed traffic that is outside your ISP’s
network. That is, this will be the primary connection from the Router
to most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your ISP.
MAC Address
To use the Clone MAC Address feature, enter a MAC address in this
field and then click the Clone MAC Address button.
Primary DNS Address This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain Name Service
(DNS) used to match the named URL web address used by most
browsers with the actual global IP address used for a web server.
Usually this will be a server owned by the ISP. Get this IP address from
your ISP.
Secondary DNS Address
This is the second choice for a DNS server. Get this IP address from
your ISP.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to
optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The
default setting (1500 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some
user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for
wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet
gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how
adjusting the MTU may affect network traffic for better or worse.
