Setup > Advanced Routing (Gateway) Setup > Advanced Routing (Router) Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster Advanced Configuration Advanced Routing 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 available as an option. Dynamic Routing RIP 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 (Internet), 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. Select set number To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the Static Routing drop-down list.

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) or the WAN (Internet).
