Now, enter in the Primary IP Address settings the WAN IP address
and also the subnet mask. Use the subnet mask as advised by your
ISP e.g. if you have a block of 8 fixed IP’s then the subnet mask is
probably 255.255.255.248. Now click on Apply.
Please note that, once you change the LAN address you will then
have to immediately change the IP address of your PC so you can
‘see’ the router again. So you should now change the IP address’s
and subnet masks of your clients with the rest of the IP addresses
you received from your ISP.
With your PC setup with the new address you should now be able
to login in the web configuration again. Once you are back in the
configuration setup you should save the settings and restart the
router (Configuration/Save config, System/Restart).
Please note, with NAT not running both the LAN side and WAN side
of the router are visible from the ISP (internet) along with your whole
network i.e. you will have no security! You are advised to configure
the built-in firewall to protect your LAN.
