The LAN Mode is described in the next section. +

+The Disable Default Route 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. +
