WL-520GU/GC Broad Range Wireless Family Router User Manual

The ASUS WL-520GU/GC Wireless Router can meet various working scenarios with proper

conguration. The default settings of the wireless router may need change so as to meet your

individual needs. Therefore, before using the ASUS Wireless Router, check the basic settings to

make sure they all work in your environment.

ASUS provides a utility named EZSetup for fast wireless conguration. If you would like to use

EZSetup for your wireless network conguration, refer to chapter 6 for details.

Note: Wired connection for initial conguration is recommended to avoid possible

setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

1) Wired Connection

The ASUS WL-520GU/GC Wireless Router is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package.

Since the ASUS Wireless Router has integrated auto-crossover function, therefore, you can use

either straight-through or 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 compatible WLAN card. Refer

to your wireless adapter user manual for wireless connection procedures. By default, the

SSID of ASUS Wireless Router is “default” (in lower case), encryption is disabled and open

system authentication is used.

3) Setting IP Address for Wired or Wireless Connection

To access WL-520GU/GC Wireless Router, you must have correct TCP/IP settings on your wired

or wireless clients. Set the IP addresses of the clients within the same subnet of WL-520GU/GC.

The ASUS Wireless Router integrates DHCP server functions, therefore, you can make your

PC get IP address automatically from the ASUS Wirelesss Router.

Note: Before rebooting your PC, switch ON the

wireless router and make sure the router is in ready

state.

Setting up IP address Manually

number between 2 and 254. Make sure the IP

address is not used by other device)

• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (same as WL-

520GU/GC)

• Gateway: 192.168.1.1(IP address of WL-520GU/

GC)

3. After the connection type setting is

complete, you are to set up your

wireless interface. Specify to your

wireless router an SSID (Service Set

Identifier), which is a unique identifier

attached to packets sent over WLAN.

This identifier emulates a password

when a device attempts to communicate

with your wireless router via WLAN.

If you want to protect transmitted data, select a Security Level to enable encryption methods.

Medium: Only users with the same WEP key settings can connect to your wireless router and

transmit data using 64bits or 128bits WEP key encryption. Congure the settings as Open

System/WEP instead of Shared Key/WEP.

High: Only users with the same WPA pre-shared key settings can connect to your wireless

router and transmit data using TKIP encryption.
