NAT

Enabled/Disabled  If this Router is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet, keep the default, Enabled.. If another router exists on your network, select Disabled.. When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be available..

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

Dynamic routing uses the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).. This option 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..

Enabled/Disabled  When the NAT setting is enabled, the Dynamic Routing feature is automatically disabled.. When the NAT setting is disabled, this option is available.. Select Enabled to use the Dynamic Routing option..
