Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.

Destination IP Address

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.

For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's local router.

For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
