Configuring The Wireless Router; Asus Wireless Router Wired Connection; Setting Ip Address For Wired Or Wireless Connection - Asus WL-550gE Schnellanleitung

3. Configuring the Wireless Router
Note:
1) Before you start, we recommend using wired connection for initial
configuration which avoids possible setup problem due to wireless uncertainty.
2) ASUS also provides an EZSetup button for fast wireless configuration. If you
prefer EZSetup to arrange for your wireless network configuration, please
refer to chapter 6 of WL550gE userʼ manual included in the support CD.
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.

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. The default SSID of the ASUS Wireless Router is "default" (lower case),
encryption is disabled and open system authentication is used.
2) Setting IP address for Wired or
Wireless Connection
Get 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.
