This screen is only required if your LAN has other Routers or Gateways. Normally, you should use RIP. You need to understand the principles of routing in order to use the static routing table.

Properties
  • Destination IP Address - The network address of the remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th (last) field can be left at 0.
  • Network Mask - The Network Mask for the remote LAN segment. For class "C" networks, the default mask is 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway IP Address - The IP Address of the Gateway or Router which the Broadband Router must use to communicate with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remote segment.)
  • Metric - The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used. The default value is 2.
