Getting started
Setting up 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.
Note:
For details on configuring your wireless router using the web GUI, refer to 
Chapter 4: 
Configuring via the web GUI.
You can set up the wireless router in any of these three operation modes: Router 
(IP Sharing), Repeater, and Access Point (AP). Set up these three operation 
modes via the Quick Internet Setup (QIS).
Using the Quick Internet Setup (QIS)
The Quick Internet Setup (QIS) function, which is integrated in the wireless router’s 
web GUI, detects the Internet connection type automatically and guides you in 
setting up your network quickly.
The QIS web page appears automatically after you connected all your devices and 
launched your web browser. You may also launch the QIS from the Network Map 
page in the web GUI. To do this, click 
Go
in the QIS field under Internet status.
