The <strong>Disable Default Route</strong> checkbox will cause the node to not
advertise that it should be chosen as the default route. This means that
computers plugged into the node will not try and route to the internet or
other networks via the mesh node and will only try and use the mesh node for
the 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/12 "mesh" network ranges. You will not be able
to access the internet, even if your node has internet available on its wan
port with this setting checked. This also applies to internet available over
the mesh. Use this only if you know what a default route is and you need to
be connected to two networks at once such as wired to the mesh, and WiFi to
a local served agency network.
