the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be
transferred from the router to your ISP.
°
Connection Type
: By default, the router automatically determines whether
the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other
connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result
as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network
connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you
configure either Static or DHCP in the WAN settings, setting this option to
xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize
that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best
performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the
measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such
connections, but gives much better results.

Routing
This section adds a new entry into the routing table.
°
Enable
: Place a check in this box to enable the routing table entry.

°
Destination IP
: Specify the destination IP address.
°
Netmask
: Specify the subnet mask for the IP address.
°
Gateway
: Specify the IP address of the gateway.
°
Metric
: Specify the number of routing hops. The route metric is a value from
1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this route. A value of 1 is the lowest
cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16 indicates that the route is not
reachable from this router. When trying to reach a particular destination,
computers on your network will select the best route, ignoring unreachable
routes.
°
Interface
: Select the interface from the drop-down list.
