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 Router
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
