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?
Visit the support pages:
