Linksys E1000 Setup > Advanced Routing This screen 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 automatically adjusts how packets travel on your network. Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network destination. Setup > Advanced Routing Advanced Routing NAT Enabled/Disabled If this Router is hosting your network's connection to the Internet, keep the default, Enabled. If another router exists on your network, select Disabled. When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be enabled. Dynamic Routing (RIP) Dynamic routing uses the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). This option 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. Enabled/Disabled When the NAT setting is enabled, the Dynamic Routing option is automatically disabled. When the NAT setting is disabled, this option is available. Select Enabled to use the Dynamic Routing option. Static Routing 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. Route Entries To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the drop‑down list. Click Delete This Entry to delete a static route. Wireless-N Router Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration Enter Route Name Enter a name for the Route here, using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters. Destination LAN IP The Destination LAN (Local Area Network) 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. 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) or the Internet (WAN). (WAN stands for Wide Area Network.) Click Show Routing Table to view the static routes you have already set up. Advanced Routing > Routing Table Routing Table For each route, the Destination LAN IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Interface are displayed. Click Refresh to update the information.
