Accessing the wireless router

Setting an IP address for wired or wireless clients

To access the ASUS Wireless Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings

on your wired or wireless clients. Ensure that the clients’ IP addresses are within

the same subnet as the ASUS Wireless Router.

By default, the ASUS Wireless Router integrates the DHCP server function, which

automatically assigns IP addresses to the clients in your network.

But in some instances, you may want to manually assign static IP addresses on

some of the clients or computers in your network rather than automatically getting

IP addresses from your wireless router.

Follow the instructions below that correspond to the operating system installed on

your client or computer.

Note: In the Router mode, if you want to manually assign an IP address to your client, we

recommend that you use the following settings:

IP address: 19.168.1.xxx (xxx can be any number between and 4. Ensure that the IP

address is not used by another device)

Subnet Mask: ...0 (same as the ASUS Wireless Router)

Gateway: 19.168.1.1 (IP address of the ASUS Wireless Router)

DNS: 19.168.1.1 (ASUS Wireless Router) or assign a known DNS server in your network
