Astatic route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.. Enter the information described below to set up a new static route..

Route Entries  To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the drop- down list.. Click Delete This Entry to delete a static route..

Enter Route Name  Enter a name for the Route here, using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters..

Destination LAN IP  The Destination LAN IP is the address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route..

Subnet Mask  The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion..

Gateway  This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and the remote network or host..

Interface  This interface tells you whether the Destination IP Address is on the LAN & Wireless (Ethernet and wireless networks) or the Internet (WAN)..

The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this screen..

There are two ways to configure the Router’s wireless network(s), manual and Wi-Fi Protected Setup..

Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature that makes it easy to set up your wireless network.. If you have client devices, such as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup..

Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration

Simultaneous Networks

For more wireless bandwidth, the Router can create two simultaneous yet separate Wireless-N networks, one using the Wireless-N 5 GHz band and one using the Wireless-N 2..4 GHz band.. You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to easily configure and connect to both networks (refer to Wi-Fi Protected Setup, page 21), or you can manually configure the Router..

If you use manual configuration, then set up each network with the following:

•• Unique Network Name (SSID)

•• Wireless	security	settings	(refer	to
5 GHz or 2.4 GHz Wireless Security, page 22)

Decide which computers and other wireless devices should join which network.. Wireless-N devices support both the 5 GHz and 2..4 GHz bands, so they can join either the 5 GHz or 2..4 GHz network.. Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices support only the 2..4 GHz band, so they should join the 2..4 GHz network.. Wireless-A devices support only the 5 GHz band, so they should join the 5 GHz network..

For the 5 GHz network, configure all computers and other wireless devices with the same 5 GHz Network Name (SSID) and wireless security settings.. For the 2..4 GHz network, configure all computers and other wireless devices with the same 2..4 GHz Network Name (SSID) and wireless security settings..

NOTE: Make sure each network uses a unique Network Name (SSID)..
