Configuring Other Routers on Your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices that are not on the local LAN can be passed to the 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 Router as the default route or default gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Router. This router requires that the default route is the Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the default route. It should be configured as follows.

Destination:

Normally 0.0.0.0 but check your router documentation.

Subnet Mask:Normally 0.0.0.0 but check your router documentation.

Gateway:

The IP Address of the Router.
