Setting IP address for Wired or Wireless ConnectionGet IP Automatically

The ASUS Wireless Router 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: The Wireless Router will act as a router and provide IP address only when the physical connection of WAN port exists. You must connect the WAN port on the ASUS Wireless Router

with the Ethernet port on your ADSL or Cable modem with a network cable. Before rebooting your PC, the ASUS Wireless Router should be switched ON and in the ready state.

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 computer’s 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).
