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...
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.
,ThanksYou might find a business class router that can handle more than one WAN IP address. Most home stuff only supports 1 address since most homes only need 1. Good Luck.
