D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your WiFi DSL modem router. Under usual
circumstances, the WiFi DSL modem router has adequate routing information after it has
been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure more static routes. You
have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple WiFi DSL modem
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 WiFi DSL modem router on your home network for connecting to the
company where you are employed. This WiFi DSL modem router’s address on your LAN
is 192.168.1.100.
•
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your WiFi DSL 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 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your WiFi DSL 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 have to define a static route, telling your WiFi DSL modem router that
134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN WiFi DSL modem router at
192.168.1.100. 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 WiFi DSL modem router at 192.168.1.100.
•
A metric value of 1 works since the ISDN WiFi DSL modem router is on the LAN.
•
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

Private
check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.
5.
Select the
Active
check box.
6.
Type the IP address of the final destination.
7.
Type the IP subnet mask for this destination.
If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255
.

8.
Type the gateway IP address.
The gateway IP address has to be a WiFi DSL modem router on the same LAN segment
as the WiFi DSL modem router.
9.
Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
This value represents the number of WiFi DSL modem routers between your network and
the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this connection is a direct
connection, set it to 1.

.
The route is made effective.

Remote Management
The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your WiFi DSL
modem router over the Internet.
Note:
Be sure to change the WiFi DSL modem router’s default login
password to a secure password. The ideal password should contain
no dictionary words from any language and contain uppercase and
lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30
characters. For more information, see
Set Password
on page 102.
To set up remote management:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management
.
2.
Select the
Turn Remote Management On
check box.
3.
Under Allow Remote Access By, select the external IP addresses that are allowed access to
the WiFi DSL modem router’s remote management.
Note:
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP
addresses as practical.
•
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select
Only This Computer
.
Enter the IP address that is allowed access.

•
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select
IP Address
Range
. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
•
To allow access from a list of specific IP addresses on the Internet, select
IP Address
List
. Enter the IP addresses that are allowed access.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select
Everyone
.
4.
Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose
a number from 1024 through 65535, but do not use the number of any common service
port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
5.
Click
Apply
.
6.
When accessing your WiFi DSL modem router from the Internet, type your WiFi DSL
modem router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by a
colon (:) and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080,
enter
in your browser.
