RUTX50 Configuration Examples

This page contains various configuration guides for the RUTX50 router. Unlike the articles in the RUTX50 Manual, which provide more general knowledge on all of the router's features and functions, these guides are more in-depth and are usually focused on specific configuration scenarios with extensive explanations. While most of the guides apply to both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, some are exclusive to one OS and others aren't OS specific in any way and apply to any system.
