Note: The router supports only basic DDNS and the login and password may not be
secure. If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x,
the dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on
the Internet.

Using Static Routes

Static Routes provide additional routing information to your Firewall. Under normal
circumstances, the Firewall has adequate routing information after it has been configured for
Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure
static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your
network.

Static Route Example

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router's address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
• Your company's network is 134.177.0.0.
