Can't set static IP on Linksys E900


Before I throw this router in the trash, maybe someone can help. My need is simple: set the router to a static IP. On the setup screen, on the drop-down menu for Internet Connection Type, the current setting is "Automatic Configuration - DHCP". When I select "Static IP" I get logged out and the login screen appears with the message, "Session Failure / Please login again". I've tried this numerous times.

What am I doing wrong?

According to the manual that should work. I assume you are plugged into a LAN port?

Is this a public-facing router? If so, you might want to check the ISP's terms of service; they might preclude a static IP.
