I have a FiOS account with Verizon which is supplying me with 5 public static IP addresses. If I connect the ONT directly to my computers with no intermediate router, I have no problem accessing the internet via ethernet from the ONT, and all 5 public static IP's are accessible from outside of my network.
However ...
I want to also be able to get the same public static IP access (all 5 public static IP addresses) via WiFi, and I have been trying to use the CR1000B router to enable this capability. I connected the ONT via ethernet to the router instead of to my computers, and I connected the ethernet from the router to my computer. And I enabled the first IP address in the range of 5 static IP's in the router with the proper netmask, gateway, and DNS.
But when I did that, I can't get any internet connectivity to or from my computers, neither via ethernet nor via WiFi. However, I can indeed access and configure the router at 192.168.1.1 if I use WiFi.
I'm guessing that I need "Passthrough Mode" on that router in order to simply pass through the 5 static IP address connections from the ONT to the router. However, "Passthrough Mode" is not present on the CR1000B.
When I go to the "Bridge" section, there is no "Passthrough Mode" offered. There is something called "Broadband" in the same place that "Passthrough Mode" is shown on screenshots of configurations of similar Verizon routers. I made a guess that maybe this "Broadband" setting could perhaps be another name for "Passthrough Mode", but when I set it, nothing is being passed through.
So, how can I get the same public static IP address connectivity under WiFi using my CR1000B router that is easily available via an ONT-to-and-from-computer ethernet connection?
Is Passthrough Mode even available on the CR1000B? Or if not, do I need a different router? Or perhaps is there some CR1000B configuration that I overlooked or misunderstand, which could enable this capability?
Thank you in advance for any pointers to docs or any other kind of help!
