Operating Mode
Operation Mode Select the Operating mode for this router:
• Gateway The normal mode of operation. This allows all devices on your
LAN to share the same WAN (Internet) IP address. In Gateway mode, the
NAT (Network Address Translation) mechanism is enabled.
• Router You either need another router to act as the Internet Gateway, or all
PCs on your LAN must be assigned (fixed) Internet IP addresses. In Router
mode, the NAT mechanism is disabled.
Dynamic Routing
You can use the router’s dynamic routing feature to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network’s layout. The router can use the dynamic RIP protocol to
calculate the most efficient route for the network’s data packets to travel between
the source and the destination, based upon the shortest paths. The RIP protocol
regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) If you want the router to use the RIP protocol,
select Enabled; otherwise, keep the default setting, Disabled.
