Route

A route is a possible path from a given host to another host or destination. If you append one or more routers behind the R100 Wireless Gateway to share the same connection to the Internet, you need to insert predefined routing rules , called static route,

into the gateway. This way the wireless gateway will know which router the packets from the Internet with different destination IP addresses can be delivered to.

Apply to routing table? – Selecting Yes applies all those rules in the Static Route List to the routing table.

Static Route List

Network/Host IP – This stands for the destination IP address of the network or host. It could be an IP address, such as 192.168.1.1 or a range of IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.0 or 192.0.0.0. If a packet is sent/received with a destination IP address that matches this field or is within the ranges of this field, it will route to the device set in the Gateway field.

Netmask – this defines the netmask of an added network route.

Gateway - This field stands for the IP address of the gateway where packets are routed. The specified gateway must be reachable first. It means you have to set up a static route to the gateway beforehand.
