AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100
Set Up and Manage Custom Static Routes
Static routes provide detailed routing information to your modem router. Typically, you do not
need to add static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as
when you use multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
Your primary Internet access is through an ADSL modem to an ISP.
You use an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you
are employed.
This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your modem router, two implicit static routes were created.
A
default route was created with your ISP as the gateway and a second static route was
created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router forwards your
request to the ISP
.
The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed,
and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case, you must define a static route, instructing your modem router that 134.177.0.0 is
accessed through the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100. Here is an example:
Through the destination IP address and IP subnet mask, specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
Through the gateway IP address, specify that all traf
fic for these addresses is forwarded
to the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100.
A metric value of 1 works fine because the ISDN modem router is on the LAN.
Set Up a Static Route
You can add a static route to a destination IP address and specify the subnet mask, gateway
IP address, and metric.
To set up a static route:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. T
ype http://www
.routerlogin.net.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin.
The default password is
password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
