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) 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 straight-through or 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 Note: If configuration is done via wired connection, ignore this. Refer to your wireless adapter userʼs manual on associating with the ASUS Wireless Router.

9 WL-520g Wireless Router User Manual After setting the connection type, you are to set up your wireless interface,. First, give an SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is a unique identifier attached to packets sent over WLANs. This identifier emulates a password when a wireless device attempts communication on the WLAN. Because an SSID distinguishes WLANs from each other, access points and wireless devices trying to connect to a WLAN must use the same SSID. Also, if you want to protect transmitted data, select a middle or high Security Level. Medium : only users with the same WEP key are to connect to this access point and to transmit data using 64bits or 128bits WEP key encryption. High: only users with the same WPA pre-shared key are to connect to this access point and to transmit data using TKIP encryption. The ASUS wireless router configuration page features a convienient approach to setup the WEP Keys: with only a few taps on your keyboard to define the Passphrase, the system will automatically generate four strings of WEP Keys. For ASUS wireless adaptor users, it is no longer necessary to input long and complicated WEP Keys when connecting the router with the wireless client; the Passphrase provides an easy way for setting up your wireless environment! For example, if we input select WEP-64bits encryption mode, input 11111 as Passphrase, then the following WEP Keys are generated as shown in the right picture. Record the Passphrase and the WEP keys on your notebook, then click Save. Click Finish to continue. You are prompted to save the settings. Click Save&Restart to save the settings to the ASUS Wireless Router and enable the new settings. Next we are to setup encrypted wireless connection for wireless router and wireless client. If you have installed ASUS wireless adaptor as well as the utility, click Start -> Programes -> ASUS Utility -> WLAN Card -> One Touch Wizard to open the connection setup utility on the client end. 5 3 4 2
