Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G Broadband Router
The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing

Wireless-G Broadband Router

The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing

This tab is used to set up the Router’s advanced functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the type(s) of 
advanced functions you use. Dynamic Routing will automatically adjust how packets travel on your network. Static 
Routing sets up a fixed route to another network destination.

Operating Mode

. Select the mode in which this Router will function. If this Router is hosting your network’s 

connection to the Internet, select 

Gateway

. If another Router exists on your network, select 

Router

. When Router is 

chosen, 

Dynamic Routing

 will be enabled.

Dynamic Routing

. This feature enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s 

layout and exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The Router determines the network packets’ route 
based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. This feature is 

Disabled

 by default. 

From the drop-down menu, you can also select 

LAN & Wireless

, which performs dynamic routing over your 

Ethernet and wireless networks. You can also select 

WAN

, which performs dynamic routing with data coming from 

the Internet. Finally, selecting 

Both

 enables dynamic routing for both networks, as well as data from the Internet.

Static Routing

. To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the 

Static 

Routing

 drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a 

specific host or network.) Enter the information described below to set up a new static route. (Click the 

Delete This 

Entry

 button to delete a static route.)

Enter Route Name

. Enter a name for the Route here, using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.

Destination LAN IP

. The Destination LAN IP is the address of the remote network or host to which you want to 

assign a static route.

Subnet Mask

. The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network 

portion, and which portion is the host portion. 

Default Gateway

. This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and 

the remote network or host.

Interface

. This interface tells you whether the Destination IP Address is on the 

LAN & Wireless

 (Ethernet and 

wireless networks), the 

WAN

 (Internet), or 

Loopback

 (a dummy network in which one PC acts like a network—

necessary for certain software programs). 

Click the

 Show Routing Table

 button to view the Static Routes you’ve already set up.

Change these settings as described here and click the 

Save Settings 

button to apply your changes or 

Cancel 

Changes 

to cancel your changes.
