Installation Procedure
Follow these steps to install the ASUS Wireless Router.
1.
Determine the best location for the ASUS Wireless Router. Keep in mind
the following considerations:
The length of the Ethernet cable that connects the ASUS Wireless
Router to the network must not exceed 100 meters.
Try to place the ASUS Wireless Router on a flat, sturdy surface as
far from the ground as possible, such as on top of a desk or book-
case, keeping clear of obstructions and away from direct sunlight.
Try to centrally locate the ASUS Wireless Router so that it will pro-
vide coverage to all of the wireless mobile devices in the area. Orien-
tating the antenna vertically should provide the best reception.
Use only the power supply that came with this unit. Other power
supplies may fit but the voltage and power may not be compatible.
2.
Wall mounting or vertical standing is also possible.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the installer and users of the
ASUS Wireless Router to guarantee that the antenna is operated at
least 20 centimeters from any person. This is necessary to insure
that the product is operated in accordance with the RF Guidelines
for Human Exposure which have been adopted by the Federal Com-
munications Commission.
4.
LAN Connection:
Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the ASUS
Wireless Router’s LAN port (any one of the four) and attach the other end
to the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to your desktop computer.
5.
Power Connection:
The ASUS Wireless Router requires power from an
external power supply. The ASUS Wireless Router ships with a UL listed,
Class 2 power supply (5V, 2A). Attach one end of the DC power adapter to
the back of the ASUS Wireless Router and the other end to a power outlet.
The Power LED on the front of the ASUS Wireless Router will light up
when the unit is powered ON. In addition, the green LAN or WAN LEDs
will turn ON to indicate that the ASUS Wireless Router has a physical
Ethernet network connection.

Software Configuration
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.
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.
Wireless-Connection
Refer to your wireless adapter user’s 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.
