U.S. Cellular® 4G LTE™ Router (LG2200D)

Static Routes

Static routes provide more routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to

add static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as 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 a cable modem to an ISP.

• You have 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 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 router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP

forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company’s firewall

is likely to deny the request.

In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be

accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. In this example:

• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route

applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.

• The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be

forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.

• A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.

• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

 To set up a static route:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

A login screen displays.

3. Enter the router user name and password.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and

password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home screen displays.

4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes.
