Assigning a static ip
Is it possible to get the router to accept my computers static adress which
is not in the subnet that my router assigns adresses in?
If I let my router assign IP's, it will give me an adresses in the
192.168.1.x range, and I can also make a static assignment in that range and
still ping the router. But if I try to assign myself a totally different IP
(ex. 32.54.1.5) then I am unable to ping the router, regardless if the
router is connected to the public net or not.
Is there any way to do this?

No, not really. If the router doesn't know the subnet you're on, it
doesn't know which port to forward the data.
Unknown subnet = send data to default gateway
