DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router
Static IP Address
When the Router is configured to use Static IP Address assignment for the Internet connection, you must
manually assign a global IP Address, Subnet Mask, and ISP Default Gateway IP address. Most users will
also need to configure DNS server IP settings. Follow the instruction below to configure the Router to use
Static IP Address assignment for the Internet connection.
Static IP Address connection setup menu

IP Address
,

3. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first
access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being
allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the
MAC Address
field and click the
Clone MAC
Address
