5.4.1 Route

The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your Internet and network data. Most users do not
need to define routes. On a typical small home or office LAN, the existing routes that set up the default
gateways for your LAN hosts and for the VDSL2 Router provide the most appropriate path for all your Internet
traffic.
 On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the LAN port(s) on the VDSL2
Router. Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either because you assigned it to them when
you modified your TCP/IP properties, or because you configured them to receive the information
dynamically from a server whenever they access the Internet.
 On the VDSL2 Router itself, a default gateway is defined to direct all outbound Internet traffic to a route
at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either automatically by your ISP whenever the device
negotiates an Internet access, or manually by user to set up through the configuration. You may need to
define routes if your home setup includes two or more networks or subnets, if you connect to two or more
ISP services, or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN.
