How to make my wan ip address static

Ummmmmmm.....

You should see:

Also...should NOT be DHCP, as you wish to set a Static address.

@lleachii look at the screen shot, there's something wrong with the UI.

I see that.

Any fix for this error message ? And why do u think im getin dhcp

Reset device?

Because you didn't set Static.

you can edit the file on OS level, but that will probably not make the error go away...

I'd do as @lleachii suggests, reset.

So what i need to do to be able to sit the static ip ?

As noted already - setup as Static instead of DHCP.

(If you're lost on terminology, feel free to ask.)

But how can u write me the steps so i can do it? More information

edit /etc/config/network and copy the IP related parameters (replacing the IPs) from lan to ahmadwan_4, and change option proto from dhcp to static.

but it's really an ugly work around.

Provide link to the instructions you used.

I'll tell you the exact step you select Static instead of DHCP, since it seems to be escaping your memory - despite your staring and screenshoting it.

Also, it was suggested you reset the device in attempts to fix the error.

You mean by reset device to delete openwrt and install again or something else? And can you tell me how to reset device ) I'm new to openwrt i appreciate your assistance

only reset openwrt., have you looked through the menu system ?

I did but doing reset i will lose all my configuration yes? I need to do all configuration again or i do backup?

yes you will, and you'll have to.

a restore of a backup could make the error come back, so I'd avoid it.
