Static Public IP on a MR60

I'm currently sitting behing a CGNAT so I requested a static IP from my carrier so I can open up some ports on my router.

 

When I plug in the provided IP, Subnet mask & GW info I can ping the internal private GW @ 192.168.1.1, & I can ping the provided static IP on the WAN interface.

 

I however, cannot ping the ISP provided GW. I'm assuming I need a default route, however, when I try to configure a default route in such a manner I get a dialog box stating the following

192.168.1.1 says

Invalid subnet mask. Please enter it again

Invalid Destination IP Address, please enter it again.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Static Public IP on a MR60

If you have a fixed WAN (public) IP address you need to enter that into the router in the Internet settings.

 

Check the bit in the manual:

 

Manually set up the Internet connection

 

and then

 

Use Static IP Address.

 

Is that what you are doing?
