Wireless-G Broadband Router with RangeBooster

The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing

This tab is used to set up the Router’s advanced functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the type(s) of advanced functions you use. Dynamic Routing will automatically adjust how packets travel on your network. Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network destination.

NAT. If this Router is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet, select Enable. If another Router exists on your network, select Disable. When Router is chosen, Dynamic Routing will be enabled.

Dynamic Routing (RIP). This feature enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The Router determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. When setting this up, remember that the settings on the receiving and transmitting side must be the same.

Static Routing. To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the Route Entries drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.) Enter the information described below to set up a new static route. (Click the Delete This Entry button to delete a static route.)

Enter Route Name. Enter a name for the Route here, 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), the Internet (WAN), or Loopback (a dummy network in which one PC acts like a network— necessary for certain software programs).

Click the Show Routing Table button to view the Static Routes you’ve already set up. Click the Refresh button to refresh the screen. Click the Close button to close the window and return to the Advanced Routing screen.

Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
