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/Clone MAC
Address
This field will instruct the user to enter the Media Access Control (MAC)
address of the Ethernet Card of your computer, if instructed to do so by your
ISP. To quickly accomplish this, click the Clone MAC Address button, which
will automatically copy the MAC address of your Ethernet card and enter it into
the space provided, which will replace the MAC address of the router.
DNS (Primary/
Secondary)
These are the IP addresses of your primary and backup domain name server,
which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router will first try the
Primary DNS Address to resolve a website’s URL IP address. If this IP
address fails, the router will then try the Secondary DNS Address.
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
(1492 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 throughput.
