      The provider (google fiber) requires the following - You'll need to obtain your IP address via DHCP in order for your service to work.

      They then assigned 6 IP addresses with the first being the gateway address.  xxx.xxx.xxx.9-14

      With the wan set to DHCP where do I enter the gateway static IP address?  My other two units had wan static ip addresses which was a simple setup.

      Thanks in advance

          Could be the blind leading the unsighted here, but the way I am doing it is to set up the LAN as static and have the DHCP server for internal traffic being serviced by that.

          To clarify the WAN gets its IP from the ISP via DHCP, the LAN has a static IP and also runs the internal DHCP.

            Did you get rid of this problem?

            They then assigned 6 IP addresses with the first being the gateway address.  xxx.xxx.xxx.9-14

            I yould try out the following;

            • at the WAN port using static IP address and set up xxx.xxx.xxx.9/29
            • and the other 4 IP addresses with 1:1 NAT to the servers inside in the DMZ

            With the wan set to DHCP where do I enter the gateway static IP address?

            Someone told me that you only must use DHCP and the first assigned IP address is then the gateway IP address
            and the other 5 IP address would be able to set up to the servers in the DMZ over 1:1 NAT.

            My other two units had wan static ip addresses which was a simple setup.

            Likes me too, but I am interested to this question too.
