You can either set it up with a static address in /etc/conf.d/net with something like: config_ath0=( "192.168.1.2" ) routes_ath0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" ) substituting whatever is appropriate for your interface and addresses or you can configure the router to always give the same IP address to the MAC address of your main machine.
