network clients

Accessing the wireless ADSL router

Setting an IP address for wired or wireless clients

To access the ASUS Wireless ADSL Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings on your wired or wireless clients. Ensure that the clients’ IP addresses are within the same subnet as the ASUS Wireless ADSL Router.

By default, the ASUS Wireless ADSL Router integrates the DHCP server function, which automatically assigns IP addresses to the clients in your network.

But in some instances, you may want to manually assign static IP addresses on some of the clients or computers in your network rather than automatically getting IP addresses from your wireless router.

Follow the instructions below that correspond to the operating system installed on your client or computer.

Note: In the Router mode, if you want to manually assign an IP address to your client, we recommend that you use the following settings:

IP address: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx can be any number between 2 and 254. Ensure that the IP address is not used by another device)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (same as the ASUS Wireless ADSL Router)

Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of the ASUS Wireless ADSL Router)

DNS: 192.168.1.1 (ASUS Wireless ADSL Router) or assign a known DNS server in your network
