Configuring the ASUS Wireless Router

English

The ASUS Wireless Router can be configured to meet various usage

scenarios. Some of the factory default settings may suit your usage; however,

others may need changing. Prior to using the ASUS Wireless Router, you

must check the basic settings to guarantee it will work in your environment.

Configuring the ASUS Wireless Router is done through a web browser.

You need a Notebook PC or desktop PC connected to the ASUS Wireless

Router (either directly or through a hub) and running a web browser as a

configuration terminal. The connection can be wired or wireless. For the

wireless connection, you need an IEEE 802.11g/b compatible device, e.g.

ASUS WLAN Card, installed in your Notebook PC. You should also disable

WEP and set the SSID to “default” for your wireless LAN device. If you

want to configure the ASUS Wireless Router or want to access the Internet

through the ASUS Wireless Router, TCP/IP settings must be correct.

Normally, the TCP/IP setting should be on the IP subnet of the ASUS

Wireless Router.

Note: Before rebooting your computer, the ASUS Wireless Router

should be switched ON and in ready state.
