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. Typi-
cally, 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 documenta-
tion.
Network Mask
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta-
tion.
Gateway IP Address
The IP Address of the Wireless Router.
Metric

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 in-
termediate router.
