Public Routed Subinterface Settings
The Public Routed Subinterface pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband network-
accessible IP addresses by creating a route from the Internet to the public network specified. The public
network operates without the use of Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically used in
conjunction with broadband service that provides a range of available IP addresses. Once enabled, the
public IP addresses can be assigned to local computers.
Public Proxied Subnet Settings
The Public Proxied Subnet pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband-accessible IP
addresses. Public Proxied Subnet is a public network in which the local network is an extension of the
broadband network and does not require any special routing. Computers that are assigned Public Proxied
Subnet IP addresses operate without the use of Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically
used in conjunction with broadband service that provides a range of IP addresses. Once enabled, the Public
Proxied Subnet IP addresses can be assigned to local computers.
Display Settings
If the Show Inactive Devices checkbox is checked, devices that are no longer on the local network will display
in the Local Network Local Devices list as an inactive device. If this checkbox is not checked, inactive
devices will not be displayed in the device list.
Enable Router Behind Router Alert
If the Display alert when another router is connected to this router checkbox is checked, the Router Behind
Router error page displays in the gateway user interface if the gateway detects the presence of a third-party
router. If a third-party router is connected to the 2Wire gateway, the network can become unstable because
both devices are trying to manage private IPs via NAT.
Note: If you change the local network IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on all
devices on the gateway’s local network and manually reconfigure all devices configured with
static IP addresses.
