New router...

[Lance]

It's looking like early next week. Tomorrow is the 10th working day, and it has a build time of 11 working days, so hopefully it'll come Tuesday!

Are you going to hold a party to launch it?

Hi again.

Just finished setting up this router and so far... fantastic.  Connected at 3mb!

One question which I would love some help with... well two.

1. How do you set Manual IP addresses? 

It's so confusing!  At the moment I have it on the standard settings (so basically DHCP) but I really just want to add the 3 computers on so that they are static.

2. No MAC security?

I can't seem to find anywhere to say if using this IP it must have this MAC address???

So I'm a little worried about security at the moment.

3.  Ok I lied.... three questions. Lol.

What does the big button on the front of the router do. Hehe.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jimbo, Glad you like the 2700HGV and have a much success as I have with it (now 18days with out dropping sync). Manual IP address are found via advanced settings on broadband page, Mac security I think can be set if you click on network then advanced and then on MAC settings. The big button on the front I was told was for allowing visiters access without giving them your security settings.
Hope this helps and if I am wrong on any of these allong will come one of the many people who know much more than I

Hi Den

Thanks for the help.  But I was hoping that some kind fellow would perhaps be able to give me a bit of a "step by step" on how to do it. Very cheaky of me to ask, but I can't seem to figure it out. 

Thanks again!

Hi mate

Hmm didn't really help.  I've got a guide with the router, but it doesn't go into much detail and just does not help.

On old routers I've used basically I can just tick a box to disable DHCP and then further down the screen there'll be a space to enter a specific IP + MAC code for that IP.  I can't seem to figure it out on this router, sorry.  

Thanks for the reply and the links though, appreciate the effort.
