How to add static routes to your router

Routing > Static

You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate between the two separate networks, routing needs to be configured. Below is an example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network to access the other network.

Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking knowledge.

Advanced Router Setup

1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your router management page” on page 11).

2.Click on Routing, and click on Static.

3.Review the static route settings.

∙Network Address – Enter the IP network address of the destination network for the route.

(e.g. 192.168.20.0)

∙Network Mask – Enter the subnet mask of the destination network for the route.

(e.g. 255.255.255.0)

∙Gateway Address – Enter the gateway to the destination network for the route.

(e.g. 192.168.10.2)

∙Interface – Click the drop-down list and select the Interface on your router where the route is active.

(e.g. LAN)

∙Metric – Enter the metric or priority of the route. The metric range is 1-15, the lowest number 1 being the highest priority. (e.g. 1 )
