Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the
Broadband Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Inter-
net. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Broadband Router as
the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Broadband
Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Broadband Router itself.
Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as
follows.
Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta-
tion.
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta-
tion.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Broadband Router.
Metric 1
Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the Broadband Router's Local Router as the
Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Broadband Router's local router,
with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
•
For a router with a direct connection to the Broadband Router's local Router, the
Gateway IP Address is the address of the Broadband Router's local router.
•
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the
Broadband Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the in-
termediate router.
