Select this to enable the static route. Clear this to disable this static route without having to
delete the entry.
Enter a descriptive name for the static route.

If you are using IPv4 and need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of
255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host
ID.
Enter the IPv6 prefix length that specifies how many most significant bits (starting from the left) in
the address compose the network address.
The gateway is a router or switch on the same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN
port. The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.
Select this if you want to use the gateway IP address.
Enter the IP address of the gateway.
Select the WAN interface you want to use for this static route.
