        Paste the WAN section from Status > Interfaces.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            Without a DHCP server where?

            Yes, it works fine - some might say it works best - with static WAN IP addresses. A /29 is a nice start.
