3.2.2 Using a Static IP with a DSL/Cable Modem
You can receive a fixed public IP address or a public subnet (i.e. Multiple
public IP addresses) from your DSL or Cable ISP. Because of NAT
(Network Address Translation) function, you just need to assign a fixed
public IP address to assign to the WAN interface of your router. Your
router will let your every PC share the broadband access as NAT
transform the said fixed IP address to several private IP address. Click
Internet Access Setup > Static or Dynamic IP to enter the setup page,
which is depicted as follows:

Broadband Access: Select Enable to turn on the broadband access

Enable PING to keep alive: If you specify “Enable PING to keep alive”
function, the router will periodically check your Internet connection. The
router will automatically re-establish the connection if the connection is
down. Normally, this function is used for Dynamic IP environment.
