Configuring the Speedtouch 546 router for a NON-NAT solution.
Please follow the instructions stated on the previous section above, up to step 6 before continuing with the instructions detailed below.
1) Select "Public (without-NAT)" on the Router Addressing window. Insert the first available IP within your range as the Speedtouch IP Address. Please note the first (Network Address) and last (Broadcast Address) IP addresses of your range are reserved (they are unavailable to use), hence the first available IP will be the second IP in your range.
Enter the correct Ethernet Mask.
These details will be supplied by Claranet if you have a NON-NAT solution with us.
2) Untick "Enable DHCP" to disable this feature. Ensure that you have assigned an IP address from the range to your computer in order to communicate with the router correctly.
3) Select Start to configure the router with the details you have entered.
4) The router will now reboot (this may take up to 5 minutes) and then attempt to establish a connection to the internet.
