Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router • Local PCs must access the local server using the PCs' local LAN address (192.168.0.33 in this example). Attempts by local PCs to access the server using the external IP address (172.16.1.23 in this example) will fail. Local Game Host or Videoconference Example Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The Model MR314 router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local PC can run the application properly if that PC's IP address is entered as the default in the PORTS Menu. If one local PC acts as a game or videoconference host, enter its IP address as the default. Static Routes The fourth feature category under the Advanced heading is Static Route, which allows configuration of additional routing information. 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.

Advanced Configuration of the Router
•
Local PCs must access the local server using the PCs’ local LAN address (192.168.0.33 in this
example). Attempts by local PCs to access the server using the external IP address
(172.16.1.23 in this example) will fail.
Local Game Host or Videoconference Example
Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The
Model MR314 router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work
properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases,
one local PC can run the application properly if that PC’s IP address is entered as the default in
the PORTS Menu. If one local PC acts as a game or videoconference host, enter its IP address
as the default.
Static Routes
The fourth feature category under the Advanced heading is Static Route, which allows
configuration of additional routing information. 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.
