and another network, select a number from the drop-

down list. Click Delete This Entry to delete a static route.

Enter Route Name

using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.

Destination LAN IP

The Destination LAN IP is the address

of the remote network or host to which you want to assign

a static route.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask determines which

portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network

portion, and which portion is the host portion.

Gateway

This is the IP address of the gateway device that

allows for contact between the Router and the remote

network or host.

Interface

This interface tells you whether the Destination

IP Address is on the LAN & Wireless (Ethernet and wireless

networks) or the WAN (Internet).
Click Show Routing Table to view the static routes you

Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings

The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this

screen.
There are two ways to configure the Router’s wireless

network(s), manual and Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature that makes it easy to set

up your wireless network. If you have client devices, such

as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,

then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

Configuration View

To manually configure your wireless

network, select Manual. Proceed to the “Basic Wireless

Settings” section. To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup, select

Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Proceed to the “Wi-Fi Protected

Setup” section.

Basic Wireless Settings

Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings (Manual Setup)

Network Mode

From this drop-down menu, you can

select the wireless standards running on your network. If

you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in

your network, keep the default setting, Mixed. If you have

only Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network,

select BG-Mixed. If you have only Wireless-N devices,

select Wireless-N Only. If you have only Wireless-G

devices, select Wireless-G Only. If you have only Wireless-B

devices, select Wireless-B Only. If you do not have any

wireless devices in your network, select Disabled.

Network Name (SSID)

The SSID is the network name

shared among all points in a wireless network. The

SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless

network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed

32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).

Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your

wireless network. For added security, you should change

the default SSID (linksys) to a unique name.

Channel Width

Select Auto if you want the Router

to automatically determine the proper channel width

(20  MHz or 40  MHz) to use, or select 20 MHz only

(default) if you want the Router to operate in Wireless-B

and Wireless-G mode only. For best performance, Auto is

recommended.

Channel

Select a channel from 1 to 11, or Auto (default).

SSID Broadcast

When wireless clients survey the local

area for wireless networks to associate with, they will

detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the

Router’s SSID, keep the default setting, Enabled. If you

do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select

Disabled.
