3. If your ISP has assigned a fixed (static or permanent) IP address, select the Use Static IP
Address radio box and fill in the following fields:

b. Subnet Mask: This is usually provided by the ISP or your network administrator.
c. Gateway IP Address: IP address of the ISP’s gateway. This is usually provided by the ISP

If your ISP has not assigned a Static IP address, select the Get dynamically from ISP radio
box. The ISP will automatically assign an IP address to the router using DHCP network
protocol.
