Create Static Routes

A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach
a specific host or network. Data from one point to another will always follow the same
path regardless of other considerations. Normal internet usage does not require this
setting to be configured.
I want to:
Visit multiple networks and multiple servers at the same time.
For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the internet, but I also want to visit my
company's server. Now I have a switch and another router. I connect the devices as
shown in the following figure so that the physical connection between my PC and my
company's server is achieved. To surf the internet and visit my company's network at
the same time, I need to configure the static routing.
How can I do that?
1 Make sure the routers use different LAN IP addresses on the same subnet. Disable
DHCP function of Router 2.
2 Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password or your TP-Link ID.

4 Click Add to add a new static routing entry. Finish the settings according to the
