Before I throw this router in the trash, maybe someone can help. My need is simple: set the router to a static IP. On the setup screen, on the drop-down menu for Internet Connection Type, the current setting is "Automatic Configuration - DHCP". When I select "Static IP" I get logged out and the login screen appears with the message, "Session Failure / Please login again". I've tried this numerous times.
Is this a public-facing router? If so, you might want to check the ISP's terms of service; they might preclude a static IP.
Yes, we have 5 static IPs and 3 have been in use for years.
I'm still struggling with this "simple" router. I believe I've set the static IP, and before doing that I set the router's LAN facing IP to 192.168.0.1, rebooted, then successfully connected to the router on that IP. I then set the static IP and netmask, but when I try to save settings I get the message "192.168.0.1 Invalid value". See image. Why? As stated, prior to attempting to set the static IP I did set the LAN IP to 192.168.0.1, rebooted the router and connected to the router on that IP. What's invalid about it?
I don't know. Basically all the instructions indicate is to select static IP and complete the fields required by your ISP and any optional fields if necessary. I assume that you probably need to do this disconnected from the MODEM. Without seeing what is behind the error message we can not tell if there is an error.
