4.2 Static Routing
If cascaded routers are used on the LAN, add static routing rules to ensure that the devices
connected to the cascaded routers can be accessed. Static routing is similar to dynamic routing.
However, manual configuration is required and the router must always be available.

If the IP address of the cascaded router is fixed, static routing is recommended.

If the IP address of the cascaded router is changeable, dynamic routing is recommended.
To configure static routing settings:
1. Choose LAN &gt; Static Routing.
The Static Routing page is displayed.
2. Click Add in the upper right corner of the Static Routing page.
3. Set Destination IP address.
4. Set Subnet mask.
5. Set Router IP address. This IP address is obtained from the CPE and used for data
transmission to the cascading devices. This IP address must be reachable.
6. Click Submit.
----End
4.3 Dynamic Routing
This function is enabled when cascaded routers are used on the LAN and the cascaded routers
comply with the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). This page allows you to enable or
disable RIP and set its version and operation mode.

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification based on the
IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic Quality of service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11
networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) – voice, video,

You can specify the maximum number of bytes per packet allowed to be transmitted through the network port. An excessive MTU value may result in network connection failure. To change the MTU value, choose Internet > Internet MTU, enter an MTU value in the Internet MTU field, and then click Submit.

DHCP allows individual clients to automatically obtain TCP/IP configurations when a server starts up. You can configure the CPE as a DHCP server or disable it when the CPE is working in routing mode. When configured as a DHCP server, the CPE automatically provides TCP/IP configuration for the LAN clients that support DHCP client capabilities. If DHCP server services are disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or each client must be manually configured. To configure DHCP settings, choose LAN > DHCP Settings, select the Enable check box next to DHCP server, set Start IP address, set End IP address, set Lease time, and then click Submit.

An APN profile is a group of dial-up parameters related to an access point name (APN). You can select an APN profile for the CPE to access the Internet. To create an APN profile, choose Internet > APN Management, click Add, set Profile name, APN, User name, and Password, set Authentication to None, PAP, CHAP, or Auto, and then click Submit.
