The ASUS RT-N11 Wireless Router meets various working scenarios with proper

configuration. The default settings of the wireless router may change to meet your individual

needs. Thus, before using the wireless router, check the basic settings to ensure that they all

work in your environment.

Note: Wired connection for initial configuration is recommended to avoid possible

setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

1) Wired connection

ired connection

An Ethernet cable is bundled with your RT-N11 package. The wireless router has an

integrated auto-crossover function. You can either use a straight-through or a crossover cable

for wired connection. Plug one end of the cable to the LAN port on the rear panel of the router

and the other end to the Ethernet port on your PC.

2) Wireless connection

For establishing wireless connection, you need an IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible WLAN card.

Refer to the user manual of your wireless router for the wireless connection procedures. By

default, the SSID of the wireless router is “default” (in lower case), encryption is disabled and

open system authentication is used.

3) Setting IP address for wired or wireless client

To access the RT-N11 Wireless Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings on your

wired or wireless clients. Set the IP addresses of the clients within the same subnet of

RT-N11.

Getting an IP address automatically

The RT-N11 Wireless Router integrates DHCP server functions, thus, your PC gets an IP

address automatically.

Note: Before rebooting your PC, switch ON the

wireless router and ensure that the router is ready.

Setting up the IP address manually

To manually set the IP address, you need to know the

default settings of the Wireless Router:
• IP address: 192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To set up the connection with a manually assigned IP

address, the address of your PC and the wireless router

must be within the same subnet:
