11. 5. Create Static Routes
Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.
I want to:
Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.
For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the Internet, but
I also want to visit my company’s network. Now I have a switch and another router. I connect the devices as shown in the following figure so that the physical connection between my
PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the Internet and visit my company’s network at the same time, I need to configure the static routing.
Router 1
Router 2
PC 1
LAN: 192.168.0.1
Router 3
WAN: 172.30.30.100
LAN: 192.168.0.2
172.30.30.1
192.168.0.100
PC 2

How can
I do that?
Customize Your Network Settings
1.
Change the router’s LAN IP addresses to two different IP addresses on the same subnet. Disable Router 2’s DHCP function.
2.
Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
3.
Go to Network > Advanced Routing .
4.
Click Add and finish the settings according to the following explanations:
Network Destination: The destination IP address that you want to assign to a static route. This IP address cannot be on the same subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of the router. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the destination IP address, so here enter 172.30.30.1.
Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the destination IP address. If the destination is a single IP address, enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the subnet mask of the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination network is a single IP, so here enter 255.255.255.255.
Default Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which the data packets will be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the router’s IP which sends out data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router
2 and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be
192.168.0.2.
