How To Configure Static Routes - NETGEAR DG834N Reference Manual

DG834N RangeMax NEXT Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router Reference Manual
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the modem 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 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 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 setup 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 Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
• The value in the Metric field represents the number of routers between your network and the
destination. This is a direct connection, so it can be set to the minimum value of 2.
• The Private check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is
activated.

How to Configure Static Routes

1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever user name,
password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.
2. In the main menu, under Advanced, select Static Routes to display the Static Routes table.
