Static Routing - TP-Link PHAROS SERIES User Manual

Static Routing

The function of Static Routing is available only in AP router mode and AP client router (WISP Client)
mode.
A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach a specific host or
network. If static route is used properly in the network, it can decrease the network overhead and improve
the speed of forwarding packets.
Static routing is generally suitable for simple network environment, in which users clearly understand the
topology of the network so as to set the routing information correctly. When the network topology is
complicated and users are not so familiar with the topology structure, this function should be used with
caution or under the guidance of the experienced administrator.
