Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the DRG600-WiFi, so that they
can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to
use the DRG600-WiFi as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the DRG600-WiFi. This router requires that
the Default Route is the DRG600-WiFi itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should
be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the DRG600-WiFi.
