Open the
Network/Interfaces/WAN
webpage as shown below; please select the appropriate
IP Mode
according to the information from
your ISP. On this page you can configure the network interfaces. You can bridge several interfaces by ticking the "bridge interfaces" field

Static IP
You will receive a fixed public IP address or a public subnet, namely multiple public IP addresses from your DSL or Cable ISP service
providers. In most cases, a Cable service provider will offer a fixed public IP, while a DSL service provider will offer a public subnet. If you
have a public subnet, you could assign an IP address to the WAN interface.
