In this menu, you can view the current routing table. You can also define the output interface for specific routing destinations (IP addresses and Subnets).

The Current Routing Table displays the output from the route system command.

A default table entry should be present that indicates traffic going towards the Internet.

The Static Routing Table is manually created. Here, you can define static routes (with their netmask/gateway) towards specific destinations. While not often needed on simple networks, this can be useful for advanced setups like intranets, VPNs, and others.

If the WAN interface receives an IP address via DHCP, this specifies whether to accept routing information from the DHCP server. Such information is sent usually via DHCP option 33 or 121.

There was an obsolete setting on older releases in this menu for “Gateway mode” or “Router mode”. Ignore this, and leave it set to “Gateway”, regardless of your configuration.
