Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the
Wireless Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet.
To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless Router as the
Default Route or Default Gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless
Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless Router itself. Typi-
cally, 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 Wireless Router.

Metric

1

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's Local Router as the
Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless Router's local router, with
the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
• For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the

Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless Router's local router.

• For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the

Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the in-
termediate router.
