The Wireless Router supports RIP 1 and RIP 2 dynamic routing protocol.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the most widely used method for

dynamically maintaining routing tables. RIP uses a distance vector-

based approach to routing. Routes are chosen to minimize the distance

vector, or hop count, which serves as a rough estimate of transmission

cost. Each router broadcasts its advertisement every 30 seconds,

together with any updates to its routing table. This allows all routers on

the network to build consistent tables of next hop links which lead to

relevant subnets.

RIP — Enables or disable the RIP protocol for the WAN or LAN
interface. (Options: Disable/v1/v2, Default: Disable)
