Static ARP Entries aren't being added

Question

So I'm trying to create a static ARP Entry with the ip and MAC Address of my router. I'm currently using admin command prompt and the command arp -s [ip] [mac address], but it isn't working. Every time I check the table with arp -a, I just see the ip and mac address under an interface (there are two) with type dynamic. How do I set up the static entry? Also, can anyone clear up to me what the interfaces are? (I'm kind of a tech noob lol) Edit: To clarify, this is windows 10

Here are some pictures:

If you're dealing with non-public IP addresses, then there is nothing to hide. — longneck, Jul 07 '21 at 21:10
Why are you trying to create a static ARP entry for your router? — joeqwerty, Jul 08 '21 at 04:40
Those screenshots don't show anything. Please show the `arp -s` input and the response. — Zac67, Jan 22 '22 at 08:57

I'm not sure about the arp -s command, but I am doing it using /etc/ethers file
I've put static entries like these :

root@r2w:~# cat /etc/ethers  
b4:2e:99:1b:60:97 193.355.204.2

and then doing arp -f /etc/ethers
which replaces arp table with those manual entries
