Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the 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 Wireless Router as the Default Router or Default Gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless Router. This router requires that the Default Router is the Wireless Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Router. 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 Wireless Router.

Other Routers on the Local LAN

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

For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless Router's local router.

For routers that must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
