Network Topology

The settings that you need to perform will vary depending on the role that
your ASUS Wireless Router will play.

Network Backbone

No software setting is necessary in the ASUS Wireless Router.

In this topology, the wireless router connects your wired and wireless devices
together to form a local area network (LAN), as shown. To connect a
computer (or other device) to the ASUS Wireless Router, you need a network
cable (UTP-Cat5) with one end connected to one of the LAN ports on the
back of the ASUS Wireless Router and the other in the 10/100 LAN port on
that device. For wireless connections, wireless mobile clients must comply
with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
