Setting up the hardware

Setting up the wireless router

The ASUS Wireless Router meets various working scenarios with proper

configurations. You may need to change the wireless router’s default settings so

as to meet the requirements in your wireless environment. It also provides you with

EZSetup, a utility that enables you to easily set up a secure wireless network.

Notes:

We recommend that you use wired connection for initial configuration to avoid possible

setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

For more details on EZSetup, refer to the section EZSetup in Chapter 4 of this user

manual.

Setting up a wired connection

The ASUS Wireless Router is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package. The

wireless router has integrated auto-crossover function, so use either straight-through

or crossover cable for wired connection.

To set up the wired connection:
1. Turn on your router and the modem.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the router’s WAN port to the modem.
3. Using another Ethernet cable, connect the router’s LAN port to your PC’s LAN

port.
