Modifying Broadband IP Addresses
By default, the gateway automatically obtains its broadband IP and DNS addresses from your
service provider. If you purchased a static IP from your service provider, you need to change the
broadband IP to the static IP assigned to you from your service provider.
To manually modify the broadband IP:
1. Open a Web browser and enter http://home, http://gateway.2Wire.net, or
http://192.168.1.254 to access the gateway user interface.
2. Click on the Home page; the Summary Status page opens.
