(→‎Static Routes: Sub headings!)
The previous config will put the FB on 192.168.1.1, and allow the FB to route IP packets between your LAN subnet and the 192.168.1 subnet. However, at this stage, you may find you are still unable to ping the modem on the WAN port. This is because although packets from your 81.x.x.x address are correctly routed to the modem, the modem itself knows no route back to 81.x.x.x. It know nothing of the FB. So we need to tell it by setting a static route.

You will have configured the IP and Netmask on the 'LAN' tab. But there's no 'Gateway', so we must go to 'Advanced' -> 'Static Routes' tab, and create one. Enter it as follows: IP, Mask = base address of your internal LAN; e.g.: 81.xx.xx.0, 255.255.255.192. The 'Gateway' address is pointing back at the FB, e.g. 192.168.1.1. Check the box to Activate the route, hit the 'Apply' button, and that's it done.

You need to telnet in to the CLI to set the route. The commands to set a route back to 81.x.x.0 via the FB at 192.168.1.1 are:
