Changing the Connection Type
There is one instance when you would change the IP address of the gateway: If the current IP address of the
Metro Broadband Gateway consistently conflicts with that of any other device in your wireless network.
To change the connection type (from DHCP to Static IP), follow these steps:
1.
After logging into the Web User interface, click
Internet
under
Configuration
.
2.
When the Configure :: Internet options appear, click the
Static IP
radio button by
Connection Type
to be
applied to this gateway.

Fill in the related fields according to your ISP-provided information.
4.
Click
Update Settings
to save and apply the changes.
ALERT
Perform this task only with guidance from your ISP. The required entry for static
IP should be available, if your gateway connection type is changed to either of
those types.

Configuring System Settings
Configuring System Settings
This section describes the tasks and screens used to configure the Metro Broadband Gateway to run on your
wireless network as a bridge or a router.
N
OTE
If you used the wizard during initial login to configure your Metro Broadband Gateway, bridge or router
mode has already been configured for you depending on your wizard selections.
Review the following topics before you change any system configuration settings:
"Connecting to the Metro Broadband Gateway" on page 16
"Connect and Configure the Metro Broadband Gateway" on page 19.
Table 6, “Metro Broadband Gateway Default and User Settings Worksheet,” on page 27
shows the default
settings used to login to the device.
The
Configuration :: System
window allows you to configure the system mode as either a router, a bridge,
a repeater, or as an L2TP tunnel. In addition, this window allows you to configure IP address assignment.
Router
mode provides the capability to perform NAT (network address translation) of the traffic
from the Internet (WAN Interface) to the local interface. Router mode allows home users to hide the
privately assigned IP address from the Internet. Using Router mode, multiple devices can be
connected behind the Metro Gateway.
Bridge
mode allows the Metro Broadband Gateway to act in Layer 2 (or bridge) mode. When Bridge
mode is selected, the home PC will get the IP address from the upstream DHCP server, such as the
DHCP server from the Metro ISP network.Using Bridge mode, all traffic behind the Metro
Broadband Gateway will use the MAC address of the Metro Broadband Gateway to communicate
with the Internet.
Repeater
mode enables the Metro Broadband Gateway to act as a repeater where there is only one
SSID. Common usage is to repeat the signal from the DSL gateway or Cable modem to the repeater
to extend effective coverage.
Tunnel/L2TP
mode allows a client’s MAC address to be exposed to the authentication server. This
is often necessary in Metro Wi-Fi hotspots where authentication is required on a per-client basis.. To
configure Tunnel/L2TP mode, see
"Enabling an L2TP Connection" on page 42
.
Perform the following steps to change the Metro Broadband Gateway to router or bridge mode, depending
on your current configuration:
1.
Connect to the Metro Broadband Gateway by following the instructions in
"Connecting to the Metro
Broadband Gateway" on page 16
.
2.
Choose
Configuration :: System
or
Configuration :: Smart Configuration
. For System configuration, go
to
Step 3
. For Smart Configuration, see
"Smart Configuration" on page 60
.
