The Hitron isn't actually in modem mode when you have static IP addresses, but WiFi is disabled as is NAT, so it appears as if it is.

In order to use your multiple fixed IP addresses you simple configure the devices you connect to the Hitro with the static IP address manually, usign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 (since you said you had the 5 IP address service) then also configure the gateway address of the devices you connect to the Hitron to be the Hitron IP address itself (which is usually the first static address in your block).

If you want to use more than one of your fixed IP addresses on the router you connect to the Hitron you will need a router that supports multiple addresses ont he same WAN interface. Draytek routers do - they call then IP aliases.

I have this exact setup so will help if I can
