WZR-HP-G300NH: How to set a static IP (WAN)

[piflintstone]

Hi,

 

I am starting to get annoyed by this router. I read through the manual, searched the Internet....and nothing. There is one thread in this forum stating to have "solved" the problem which I highly doubt:

http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Solved-Wireless-Threads/Set-up-Static-IP-on-wzr-hp-g300nh/m-p/19648

 

There is a picture shown at the end of that thread that Iīve never seen on my routers menu, this is what my menu looks like:;

Now, I know I can set the routerīs mode from Auto to On/Off, but On just makes it work the way it does (DHCP, yay :| ) and off from my understanding will turn off WAN completely.

My provider does support DHCP assigned IPs, but I need to set it manually as the IP I have is a static IP.

 

Could someone here please enlighten me on how to set my routers IP settings manually without that damned "wizardry" and "DHCP" stuff?

 

Help appreciated.

Make sure you set the swith to ON. On that same internet tatb in the web interface you should see this, make sure you choose "use this address" then fill in your ISPs info in the Advanced settings

 

	Perform Easy Setup (Internet Connection Wizard)
	Acquire an IP Address Automatically from a DHCP Server
	Use PPPoE Client
	Use IP Unnumbered
	Use this address
	Static IP Address Subnet Mask 255.255.255.252 255.255.255.248 255.255.255.240 255.255.255.224 255.255.255.192 255.255.255.128 255.255.255.0 255.255.254.0 255.255.252.0 255.255.248.0 255.255.240.0 255.255.224.0 255.255.192.0 255.255.128.0 255.255.0.0 255.254.0.0 255.252.0.0 255.248.0.0 255.240.0.0 255.224.0.0 255.192.0.0 255.128.0.0 255.0.0.0 254.0.0.0 252.0.0.0 248.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 128.0.0.0

Wow, now I really feel like an idiot. I should have checked the on Setting I guess, although, they should mention such things in the manual.

 

Thank you very much, this solved my problem ;)

I managed to set WAN IP to static, but is there a way to set WZR-HP-G300NH to act like gateway and not like router?
