Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the DSL/Cable 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 DSL/Cable Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the DSL/Cable Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the DSL/Cable Router itself. Typically, 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 documentation. |
|
|
Network Mask | Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation. |
|
|
Gateway IP Address | The IP Address of the DSL/Cable Router. |
|
|
Metric | 1 |

Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the DSL/Cable Router's Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the DSL/Cable Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
•For a router with a direct connection to the DSL/Cable Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the DSL/Cable Router's local router.
•For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the DSL/Cable Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
