Wireless Router User Guide

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's Local Router as the Default Route. 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 which 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.
