Destination Network - The network address of the remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th (last) field can be left at 0.

Network Mask - The Network Mask for the remote LAN segment. For class "C" networks, the default mask is 255.255.255.0

Gateway IP Address - The IP Address of the Gateway or Router which the Wireless Router must use to communicate with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remote segment.)

Metric - The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used. The default value is 1.

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 Route 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 Route is the 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 Wireless Router.
