Setting up the default gateway

This section allows you to manually set up the default gateway of Internet connection.
1. Click

Advanced Setup -> Routing -> Default Gateway to open the configuration page.

2. By default, automatic assigned default gateway is enabled, that is, the router

accepts the first received gateway assignment from ISP. If your ISP specifies a

gateway, uncheck

gateway address.

Setting up the static route

more complicated network such as an enterprise network where several routers and

different subnets exist, you need to configure static routes so as to direct the network

traffic correctly.

Advanced Setup -> Routing -> Static Route to open the configuration page

and view the current static route settings. Press

Add to create a new static route.

2. The configurable settings include:

Destination Network: Key in the destination IP address.

Subnet Mask: Key in the destination subnet mask.

Use Gateway IP Address: Key in the gateway network address (optional).

User Interface: Select the interface of your router to which the static route

applies.

3. Press

Save/Apply to save and activate the settings.
