3 - Software

The LAN menu page has the following settings:

Get IP Automatically

Select Yes (default) or No to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP server.

If you select Yes, this means that the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" will send out a DHCP request during bootup. If you have a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the network, set this option so that the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" can receive an automatic IP address and subnet mask assignment. The DHCP server automatically assigns the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" an IP address when it is powered up. To determine what settings have been assigned to the ASUS Wireless WL-HDD, check the Status page (see “Status”).

If you select No, the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" accepts a static IP address. You can manually configure the IP address and subnet mask in this case. Enter an IP address and a subnet mask in the field provided to assign the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" a static IP address. If you don’t know your Gateway setting, leave it empty (not 0.0.0.0).
