2. Select Dynamic or Static IP Address:

If your service provider assigns your IP address through DHCP, select “Dynamic IP.”

If your service provider assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your PC,
select “Static IP.” Then enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the Static IP
Mask (also known as netmask), Gateway IP address and Domain Name Server (DNS)
Address.

The WAN Default Gateway is the ISP’s router to which your gateway will connect.

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as

http://www.netgear.com

) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP

address of one or two DNS servers to your gateway during login. If the ISP does not
transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter
an address here, you should reboot your PCs after configuring the gateway.

3. Click Apply to accept these settings.
