device. This is an advanced feature. Please proceed w ith caution.
This Router is also capable of dynamic routing (see the Dynamic R outing tab). In many cases, it is better to
use dynamic routing because the function will allow the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes
in the network layout. In order to use static routing, the Router's DHCP s ettings must be disabled.
To set up static routing, you should add routing entries in the Router's table that tells the device where to
