From your  LAN you difine the routers IP address as the Gateway ( router is the boundary for your network), from yoyr  router you need to access the outside network, in that case you could apply two methods

1) use a default network  as the next network connected ( for Example Internet Service Provider)

  ip default-network NEXT network address

example ip default-network 172.20.165.0

you can add another instance for default network( this will be used if the above fails)

ip default-network192.168.100.0

 

2) even if you do not know the IP  address of the next hop router you can use the following

ip route0.0.0.00.0.0 . in this  case router will forward all traffic to the next  router and next  router will find the routes onwards
