Westell router - help needed

remowilson

Hi, hope someone can help me with this westell router problem.

I have A90-750115 Vesalink router. My cable company set me with a static IP address. They told me to set my router to pull

static IP instead of dynamic IP from the modem. but the problem is I do nto know how to set the static IP on the router.

I checked online manual, but either I don't understand or it was not stated in the manual.

anyone knows how to set the static ip address on this router? or similar router in Vesalink line?

thanks

#1 I take it you have all of the settings, not just the Static IP.

Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Servers.

#2 If not, you need to get that first,

#3 I take it your cable modem is connected to the Uplink / E1 port of this Westell.

on page 9 out of 186 pages.

#4 And I take it, you did not change the LAN IP of the Westell

#5 Go to 192.168.1.1 and log-in as need be to this Westell.

#6 If prompted to change the Default Password (page 32 to 34 out of 186 pages), do so.

#7 In the router go to Network Connections -> Versa Port.

#8 With Ethernet WAN Uplink Selected, change the connection type to Routed IP Address.

#9 Where it says, tunneling say disable.

#10 Then the next two option are:

a) Enable DHCP Client

OR to

b) Disable DHCP Client.

#11 Select Disable DHCP Client.

#12 Then enter in the Correct settings that you were given.

#13 Click on Apply
