Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Internet
Broadband 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 Internet Broadband Router as the
Default Route
or
Default Gateway
.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Internet Broadband
Router. This router requires that the
Default Route
is the Internet Broadband 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 Internet Broadband Router.

Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the Internet Broadband Router's
Local Router
as the
Default Route
. The entries will be the same as the Internet Broadband Router's local router,
with the exception of the
Gateway IP Address
.
•
For a router with a direct connection to the Internet Broadband Router's local Router, the
Gateway IP Address
is the address of the Internet Broadband Router's local router.
•
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Internet
Broadband Router's local router, the
Gateway IP Address
is the address of the intermediate
router.
