Setup > Advanced Routing
This screen is used to set up the Router’s advanced
functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the
type(s) of advanced functions you use. Dynamic Routing
automatically adjusts how packets travel on your network.
Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network
destination.

Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
Select the mode in which this Router
will function. If this Router is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, select
Gateway
. If another
Router exists on your network, select
Router
. When
Router is chosen,
Dynamic Routing
will be available as
an option.
Dynamic Routing
RIP
This feature enables the Router to automatically
adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and
exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The
Router determines the network packets’ route based on
the fewest number of hops between the source and the
destination. This feature is
Disabled
by default. From the
drop-down menu, you can also select
LAN & Wireless
,
which performs dynamic routing over your Ethernet and
wireless networks. You can also select
WAN (Internet)
,
which performs dynamic routing with data coming from
the Internet. Selecting
Both
enables dynamic routing for
both networks, as well as data from the Internet.
Static Routing
Select set number
To set up a static route between
the Router and another network, select a number from
the drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-determined
pathway that network information must travel to reach a
specific host or network.) Enter the information described
below to set up a new static route. (Click
Delete This Entry
to delete a static route.)
Enter Route Name
Enter a name for the Route here,
using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.
Destination LAN IP
The Destination LAN IP is the address
of the remote network or host to which you want to assign
a static route.
Subnet
Mask
The
Subnet
Mask
determines
which
portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network
portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Default Gateway
This is the IP address of the gateway
device that allows for contact between the Router and the
remote network or host.

From this drop-down menu,
you can select the wireless standards running on your
network. If you have both 802.11g and 802.11b devices
in your network, keep the default setting,

.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The SSID is the network
name shared among all points in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (
linksys
) to a unique name.
Wireless Channel
Select the appropriate channel from
the list provided to correspond with your network settings.
All devices in your wireless network must use the same
channel in order to communicate.
Wireless SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast
the Router’s SSID, keep the default setting,
Enable
. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select
Disable
.

Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”
Wireless Security
Security Mode
Select the security method for your wireless network. If
you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,
Disabled

WPA Personal
NOTE:
If you are using WPA, always remember
that each device in your wireless network MUST
use the same WPA method and shared key, or
else the network will not function properly.
Security Mode > WPA Personal
WPA Algorithm
WPA supports two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the
type of algorithm,
TKIP
or
AES
.
The default is
TKIP
.
WPA Shared Key
Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63
characters.
Group Key Renewal
Enter a Group Key Renewal period,
which instructs the Router how often it should change the
encryption keys. The default Group Key Renewal period is
3600

WPA Enterprise
This option features WPA used in coordination with a
RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS
server is connected to the Router.)
