DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router
Static IP Address
When the Router is configured to use Static IP Address assignment for the Internet connection, you must
manually assign a global IP Address, Subnet Mask, and ISP Default Gateway IP address. Most users will
also need to configure DNS server IP settings. Follow the instruction below to configure the Router to use
Static IP Address assignment for the Internet connection.
Static IP Address connection setup menu
To configure a Static IP type Internet connection, follow these steps:
1. Select the Static IP option from the My Internet Connection is: pull-down menu.
2. Under the Static IP heading, type IP address information provided by your ISP, type an IP Address,
Subnet Mask and ISP Gateway Address. The Primary DNS Address will be normally be
required, the Secondary DNS Address is used for a back up DNS server.
3. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first
access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being
allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC
Address button.
4. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1500) unless you have specific reasons to
change this (see table below for more information).
5. Click on the Save Settings button to save and apply the new Internet connection settings.
