If there are multiple routers installed on your network, it is necessary to configure the router's static routing functions. The static routing function determines the path that data follows over your network before and after it passes through your router. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through this device.

This is an advanced feature. Please proceed with caution.

This router is also capable of dynamic routing (see the Dynamic Routing tab). In many cases, it is better to use dynamic routing because the function will allow the router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout.

To setup static routing, you should add routing entries in the router's table that tell the device where to send all incoming packets.

View current routing table:

1. Click on the Show Routing Table button.
2. You can see all of the valid static route entries in use.

Create a static route entry:

1. Select a Static Route Entry from the drop down list. The device supports up to 8 static route entries.
2. Enter the following data for the static route.

   Destination LAN IP	Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be 0.
   Subnet Mask	Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
   Gateway IP	If the Linksys router is the main IP router to connect your network to the Internet, then your Gateway IP is the same IP Address as the Linksys router. If you have another router handling your network's Internet connection, enter the IP Address of your main Internet router here instead.
   Hop Count	Enter the number of routers that the traffic must pass through in order to reach the destination LAN.

3. Click the Apply button to save your changes.
4. Repeat these steps for up to 8 entries.

Delete a static route entry:

1. Select a static route entry form drop-down list.
2. Click the Delete this Entry button underneath the drop-down list.
3. Click the Apply button to save your changes.
