Add static routes to your router

Routing > Static
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to
other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be
determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for
the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another
network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate
between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an
example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network
to access the other network.
Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking
knowledge.
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 25).
2. Click on Routing, and click on Static.
3. Review the Routing section. Click Save Settings to save settings.
• Name – Enter a name for the static route.
• Destination IP Address: Enter the IP network address of the destination network
for the route. (e.g. 192.168.20.0)
• Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the destination network for the
route.(e.g. 255.255.255.0)
• Gateway: Enter the gateway to the destination network for the route.
(e.g. 192.168.10.2)
• Metric: Enter the metric or priority of the route. The metric range is 1-16, the
lowest number 1 being the highest priority. (e.g. 1 )
• Interface – Select the interface to assign the route.

Using External USB Storage

Your router's USB port can be used to share files through the network when a USB
storage device is connected on the back USB port. The router supports SAMBA (SMB)
filing sharing protocols.

Samba Network File Server

Administrator > File Sharing
Samba is a network protocol that allows you to access shared files through your
network. In order to share files, you will need to plug in a USB storage device on the USB
port on the back of the router. You can access these files under your network map or by
typing \\routerIPaddress on your File Explorer address bar. Please follow the below
steps.
1. Open your File Explore window.
2. Type \\routerIPaddress on the address bar
3. Your USB storage device will appear on the file explore window.
