Multiple static IPs - how to assign first IP to the router

[robocoop]

Hello. We have the THG3000 router with business broadband. Just activated multiple static IP on our account. On the router's expert settings, we do not get a "multiple static IP" menu as shown in the static IP user guide but there is a "public subnet" menu with similar settings. It seems to accept our /29 IP settings but there doesn't appear to be any other screens telling us how to use or assign those IPs.

Firstly, how do I get the router to take on the first address? e.g. 30.30.30.0 where:

30.30.30.0 Network address (for your router - not usable)
30.30.30.1 usable
30.30.30.2 usable
30.30.30.3 usable
30.30.30.4 usable
30.30.30.5 usable
30.30.30.6 usable
30.30.30.7 Broadcast address (not usable)

Under Status & Support > Status > DSL Status > IPv4 address shows a completely different IP (and I assume dynamically assigned by Vodafone) for our router.

Hi

did you get this working? I need to request static IPs but need to know if this works or not?
