Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router

5-8 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 RP114 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.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Route to view the

Static Route menu, shown in Figure 5-3.
