• Select Static IP only if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP
address.
3. If you select Static IP, more fields appear on the screen. Fill in these fields so the gateway
can 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 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
• 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.
4. If you made changes, click Apply so that the changes take effect.
