Using an ISP Static Range for specific devices on my network
Scenario: I am trying to have 3 separate devices on my network assigned a static IP address. My ISP has given me my staic range but I am simply not understanding how I can point each usable static IP...
Thanks for the detailed explanation. So in my static range from the ISP I was given a gateway address of xx.xxx.92.201, the usable IP range of xx.xxx.92.202 to 206 and the subnet of 255.255.255.248.
Are you saying that I would need to change the range to match what the ISP has given me? Or does that mean on the router can have a single IP address and everything that is connected to it will be in the typical DHCP range which will always show the same public IP address?
Here is how I setup my router for static for reference witht the XX.XXX. being a constant. I'm not sure if it's a privacy concern so I put X as a placeholder:
IP Address xx.xxx.92.202
Subnet 255.255.255.248
Gateway IP xx.xxx.92.201
No, nothing needed to change on the WAN side. You only get 1 IP address from the ISP.
You can change the LAN side. Under Advanced tab/Setup/LAN setup.
- I have a block of IPs that I purchased so I’m confused. I have the exact range and I’ve done this on a couple att modem/router and it was cake. The static public addresses were configurable on the ip allocation area so I just assumed that I would have a similar option with a nighthawk router
For most NG R series routers, you can only use 1 WAN IP address at a time, so you can pick 1 of the IP addresses from the block of addresses you have and input that on the router. The router only allows for 1 WAN IP address though.
- Okay, you’ve been helpful. That’s what I needed to know.
,Thanks
