Configure your Computer to Have a Static IP Address
Port forwarding the 2wire 2700HG-D to your computer can be more reliable if you first configure a static IP address on your computer. We have instructions to setup a static IP address for Windows 7, Windows 8, and a variety of other devices on our Static IP Address Settings page.
