Configuring the ASUS 802.11g AP

The ASUS 802.11g AP 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 802.11g AP, you must check
the basic settings to guarantee it will work in your environment.

Configuring the ASUS 802.11g AP is done through a web browser. You
need a Notebook PC or desktop PC connected to the ASUS 802.11g AP
(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 802.11g AP or want to access the Internet
through the ASUS 802.11g AP, TCP/IP settings must be correct. Normally,
the TCP/IP setting should be on the IP subnet of the ASUS 802.11g AP.

Note: Changing TCP/IP settings may require rebooting your PC.
When rebooting, the ASUS 802.11g AP should be switched ON and
in the ready state.
