Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing

The Advanced Routing screen allows you to configure the dynamic and static routing settings.
Advanced Routing
Operating Mode. Select the mode in which this Router will function. If this Router is hosting your network's
connection to the Internet, select Gateway. If another Router exists on your network, select Router. When Router is
chosen, Dynamic Routing will be enabled.
Dynamic Routing. This feature enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's
layout and exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The Router determines the network packets' route
based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination.
RIP. For dynamic routing of network data, select the interface you want: LAN & Wireless, WAN (Internet), or
Both.
Static Routing. Use this feature to set up a static router between the Router and another network. (A static route
is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.) To create
a static route, alter the following settings:
Select set number. Select the number of the static route from the drop-down menu. The Router supports up
to 20 static route entries.
Enter Route Name. Enter a name for the static route, using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.
Destination LAN IP. The Destination LAN IP Address is the address of the remote network or host to which
you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route.
Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination IP address is the network portion,
and which portion is the host portion.
Default Gateway. This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and
the remote network or host.
Interface. Select LAN & Wireless or WAN (Internet), depending on the location of the static route's final
destination.
Delete This Entry. If you need to delete a route, select its number from the drop-down menu, and click the
Delete Entry button.
