Setting up the
hardware
Setting up the wireless router
The ASUS Wireless Router meets various working scenarios with proper
configurations. You may need to change the wireless router’s default settings so
as to meet the requirements in your wireless environment. It also provides you with
WPS, a utility that enables you to easily set up a secure wireless network.
Notes:
• We recommend that you use wired connection for initial configuration to avoid possible 		
		 setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.
• For more details on WPS, refer to the section WPS Wizard in Chapter 5 of this user 		
		 manual.
Setting up a wired connection
The ASUS Wireless Router is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package.
The wireless router has integrated auto-crossover function, so use either straightthrough or crossover cable for wired connection.
To set up the wired connection:
1. Turn on your router and the modem.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the router’s Internet port to the modem.
3. Using another Ethernet cable, connect the router’s LAN port to your PC’s LAN
port.

Configuring the wireless router
The ASUS Wireless Router includes a web graphics user interface (web GUI)
that allows you to configure the wireless router using your web browser on your
computer.
Using the web GUI
If your PC connects to the router using a cable, launch your web browser and the
login page of the router’s web GUI automatically launches.
If your PC connects to the router wirelessly, you have to select the network first.
To select the network:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Wireless Network
Connection.
2. Select a network from the Choose a wireless network window. Wait for it to
connect.
Note: By default, the SSID of wireless router is ASUS. Connect to this default SSID.
3. After establishing a wireless connection, launch a web browser.
Notes:
• You may also manually key in the router's default IP address (192.168.1.1) to launch the
		 router's web interface.
• For more details on configuring your wireless router using the web GUI, refer to Chapter 4:
		 Configuring via the web GUI.

Configuring the
network clients
Accessing the wireless router
Setting an IP address for wired or wireless client
To access the ASUS Wireless Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings
on your wired or wireless clients. Ensure that the clients’ IP addresses are within
the same subnet as the ASUS Wireless Router.
By default, the ASUS Wireless Router integrates the DHCP server function, which
automatically assigns IP addresses to the clients in your network.
But in some instances, you may want to manually assign static IP addresses on
some of the clients or computers in your network rather than automatically getting
IP addresses from your wireless router.
Follow the instructions below that correspond to the operating system installed on
your client or computer.
Note: If you want to manually assign an IP address to your client, we recommend that you use
the following settings:
• IP address: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx can be any number between 2 and 254. Ensure that the IP
		 address is not used by another device)
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (same as the ASUS Wireless Router)
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of the ASUS Wireless Router)
• DNS: 192.168.1.1 (ASUS Wireless Router) or assign a known DNS server in your network
