Configuring

Other Routers

on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be
passed to the Wireless Router, so that they can be forwarded to the
external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be
configured to use the Wireless Router as the Default Route or Default
Gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the
Wireless Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the
Wireless Router itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the
Default Route. It should be configured as follows:

Other Routers on the Local LAN

Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's Local
Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless
Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.

❑ For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local

Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless
Router's local router.

❑ For routers which must forward packets to another router before

reaching the Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP
Address is the address of the intermediate router.
