For a Static IP, enter the following settings to enable the gateway to connect to the Internet:
•
Static IP Address
. The fixed IP address that your ISP has assigned to you.
•
Static IP Mask
. The network number portion of an IP address. Unless you are
implementing subnetting, use 255.255.0.0 as the subnet mask.
•
Default Gateway
. This is the ISP’s router to which your gateway will connect.
•
Primary DNS
. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such
as 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.
•
Secondary DNS
. If applicable, enter the address of your ISP’s secondary DNS server.
