The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your Internet and network data.
Most users do not need to define routes. On a typical small home or office LAN, the existing routes that set up
the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the DSL device provide the most appropriate path for all your
Internet traffic.
− On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the LAN port(s) on the DSL device.
Your LAN hosts know their default gateway either because you assigned it to them when you
modified your TCP/IP properties, or because you configured them to receive the information
dynamically from a server whenever they access the Internet.
− On the DSL device itself, a default gateway is defined to direct all outbound Internet traffic to a route
at your ISP. The default gateway is assigned either automatically by your ISP whenever the device
negotiates an Internet access, or manually by user to setup through the configuration.
You may need to define routes if your home setup includes two or more networks or subnets, if you connect
to two or more ISP services, or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN.
