Q53, crossing routers can be an issue.
After following one of the Q53 configuration methods described above, you will only be
able to communicate with the Zigbee gateway device from the same subnet. This means

able to communicate with the Zigbee gateway device from the same subnet. This means
that the Q53 will not be able to communicate across a router (i.e., to another subnet).
To allow the Q53 to communicate across a router, it is best to store a default
router/gateway within the Zigbee gateway device so that any packets destined for
another subnet are forwarded to this router automatically. The router (or series of routers)
can then ensure the packets arrive at their final destination on the other subnet.
