Reference Guide for the Model RT311 and RT314 Internet Access Gateway Routers

Local Game Host or Videoconference Example

Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The Model Model RT311 and RT314 routers are programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local PC can run the application properly if that PC’s IP address is entered as the default in the PORTS Menu. If one local PC acts as a game or videoconference host, enter its IP address as the default.

Static Routes

The fourth feature category under the Advanced heading is Static Route, which allows configuration of additional routing information. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Route to view the Static Route menu, shown in Figure 5-3.
