Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the
Wireless Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or
Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless
Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless
Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless Router itself.
Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured
as follows.
Destination IP Address
Network Mask
Gateway IP Address
Metric
Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's Local Router as the
Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless Router's local router,
with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.

For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the
Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless Router's local router.

For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the
Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the in-
termediate router.
