Assigning a static IP has nothing to do with the router. Just go to the properties of the network connection. Select the TCP/IP entry, and select properties. Assign any valid IP in your IP range. Just make sure it's not in the range that your router is assigning via DHCP. For example, if your Netmask is 255.255.255.0 and your IPs have a form of 192.168.1.0, and your router assigns IPs in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.9 .... just pick any IP from x.x.x.10 to x.x.x.254 for your statics.
