5. Configuring the ASUS Wireless Router

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.
1) Connecting to the ASUS Wireless Router
Wired Connection
One RJ-45 cable is supplied with the ASUS Wireless Router. Auto
crossover function is designed into the ASUS Wireless Router so you can
use either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable. Plug one end
of the cable into the WAN port on the rear of the ASUS Wireless Router
and the other end into the Ethernet port of your ADSL or Cable modem.
20
Wireless-Connection
Refer to your wireless adapter userʼs manual on associating with the
ASUS Wireless Router. The default SSID of the ASUS Wireless Router
is “default” (lower case), encryption is disabled and open system
authentication is used.
2) Setting IP address for Wired or Wireless Connection
Get IP Automatically
T h e A S U S Wi r e l e s s R o u t e r
incorporates a DHCP server so the
easiest method is to set your PC
to get its IP address automatically
and reboot your computer. So the
correct IP address, gateway, DNS
(Domain Name System Server) can
be obtained from the ASUS Wireless
Router.
Note: Before rebooting your PC, the ASUS Wireless Router should be
switched ON and in ready state.
21
2) Setting IP address for Wired or Wireless Connection

(Cont.)
Setting IP Manually
If you want to set your
IP address manually, the
following default settings of
the ASUS Wireless Router
should be known:
• IP address 192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0.
If you set your computerʼs
IP manually, it needs to be
on the same segment. For
example:
• IP address 192.168.1.xxx
(xxx can be any number
between 2 and 254 that is not used by another device)
• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 (same as the ASUS Wireless Router)

• Gateway 192.168.1.1 (this is the ASUS Wireless Router)
• DNS 192.168.1.1 (ASUS Wireless Router IP address or your own).
22
3) Configuring the Wireless Router

specialized packets from network. It is to assign a certain host to act as a link
between inner LAN and outside Web, FTP server. Virtual DMZ provides an all-
port-match function, which grants specified computers unlimited authority to get
access to network resources. The difference between Virtual Server and Virtual
DMS lies on the ports they enable respectively: Virtual Server just open serveral
ports while Virtual DMZ open all ports to the network.
