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.

Destination IP Address

Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.

Network Mask

Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.

Gateway IP Address

The IP Address of the Wireless Router.
