Hardware connections

ADSL connection

Use the ADSL splitter supplied in the package to split ADSL signal and telephone

service. Connect your ASUS WL-AM604g 11g WiFi ADSL Router to the DSL port of the

splitter with the telephone cable supplied in the package. Use another telephone cable

to connect your telephone to the Phone port of the ADSL splitter.

ASUS WL-AM604g 11g WiFi ADSL Router is a Fast Ethernet device that provides

100Mbps network connection. To ensure the connection quality, use CAT5 Ethernet

cable to connect your network devices, such as desktop computers and network

printers.

Before you proceed

Before proceeding, you need to:

• Ensure the cable connections are correct and WL-AM604g is powered ON; and

• Acquire an active Internet service, such as an ADSL account.

We recommend using wired connection for initial conguration, which may

help avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty. Use a

CAT5 cable to connect an Ethernet-enabled computer to a LAN port of WL-

AM604g.

Preparing your WAN

Based on the requirements of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), ensure that you

have the following information for setting up the Internet connection on your WL-

AM604g:

• Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)

• Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)

• Host name

• Domain name

• ISP login user name and password

• ISP Domain Name System (DNS) server address

• Static IP address

Preparing your LAN

To use WL-AM604g on your network, you need to install a network interface card (NIC) or an

IEEE802.11b/g wireless network card to your computer.

LAN conguration requirement

For the initial configuration, we recommend that you connect a computer to one of

the LAN port of WL-AM604g and congure the TCP/IP settings of your computer. The

default IP settings of WL-AM604g are:

IP address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP server: enabled

To access WL-AM604g, you must set your computer in the same subnet with the ADSL

router. You can set the computer to accept a dynamic IP address assigned by the

DHCP server of WL-AM604g, or manually set up an IP address for your computer.
