Dynamic Routing
The Router’s dynamic routing feature can be used, so
the Router will automatically adjust to physical changes
in the network’s layout. Using the dynamic RIP protocol,
the Router calculates 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. It determines the route that
the network packets take based on the fewest number of
hops between the source and the destination.
Working Mode Select Gateway mode if the Router
is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet.
Select Router mode if the Router exists on a network
with other routers, including a separate network gateway
that handles the Internet connection. In Router mode,
any computer connected to the Router will not be able
to connect to the Internet unless you have another router
function as the gateway.

routing for communication of network data, select
Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.
