Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Speed- Stream Powerline 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 SpeedStream Power- line 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 SpeedStream Power- line Wireless Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless 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 SpeedStream Powerline Wireless
	Router.
Metric	1

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router's Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.

∙For a router with a direct connection to the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the SpeedStream Powerline Wire- less Router's local router.

∙For routers that must forward packets to another router before reaching the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the in- termediate router.
