How To Configure Static Routes - NETGEAR MBR814X Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local network for
all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the
134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your
request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the
company's firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed
through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route would look like
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 Router IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded
to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
• A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is a
direct connection so it is set to 1.
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

How to Configure Static Routes

1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name,
Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router.
2. From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click Static Routes.
