Route 

Click the 

Static Route 

tab to display the next screen. Use this screen to configure static routes.  

Static routes tell the wireless SOHO Firewall gateway routing information that it cannot learn automatically 
through other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or you have multiple routers 
or multiple IP subnets located on your network. 

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected and the wireless 
SOHO Firewall gateway has no knowledge of the networks beyond. Under normal circumstances, the router 
has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to 
configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple 
routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
