Advanced Configuration of the Router

5-15

v1.2, September 2006

When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network
for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the
134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your
request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the
company’s firewall.

In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed
through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.

In this example:

The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to
all 134.177.x.x addresses.

The Gateway IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.

A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.

Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

Enabling Remote Management Access

Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade and check the status of your 54Mpbs Wireless Router.

To configure your router for Remote Management:

Note: Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure

password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers,
and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
