D-Link DIR-825 and Static Routes

August 27, 2010

D-Link, for whatever reason, didn't deem it necessary to offer the ability to set LAN-side static routes in the DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router. Fortunately, someone took the time to figure out a workaround. Log in to the router and browse to Advanced -> Routing. Paste the following into your favorite text editor:

http://192.168.1.1/Advanced/Routing.shtmlconfig.route_table[0].enabled=true&config.route_table[0].used=1&config.route_table[0].entry_name=<description>&config.route_table[0].dest_ip=<destination>&config.route_table[0].metric=1&config.route_table[0].dlink=LAN&config.route_table[0].subnet=<subnet>&config.route_table[0].gw=<gateway>

Make note of the description, destination, subnet and gateway. Change these values (including the IP address) to suit your needs. When set, submit the customized URL to your browser. The page will refresh with your new static route. Do not edit these properties within the GUI itself. You must always use the URL.

To add additional routes, use the same method but increment each route_table[N] by one.
