3. Getting started

The ASUS WL-530gV2 Pocket Wireless Router meets various working scenarios with proper configuration. The default settings of the wireless router may change to meet your individual needs. Thus, before using the wireless router, check the basic settings to ensure that they all work in your environment.

Note: We recommend wired connection for the initial configuration to avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

1) Wired connection

An Ethernet cable is bundled with your WL-530gV2 package. The wireless router has an integrated auto-crossover function. Use either a straight-through or a crossover cable for wired connection. Plug one end of the cable to the LAN port at 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 802.11g/b compatible WLAN card. Refer to the user manual of your WLAN card for the wireless connection procedures. By default, the SSID of the wireless router is “default” (in lower case), encryption is disabled, and open system authentication is used.

3) Setting IP addresses for wired or wireless clients

To access the WL-530gV2 Pocket Wireless Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings on your wired or wireless clients. Set the IP addresses of the clients within the same subnet of WL-530gV2.

Getting an IP address automatically

The WL-530gV2 Pocket Wireless Router integrates the DHCP server functions, thus, your PC gets an IP address automatically.

Note: Before rebooting your PC, switch ON the wireless router and ensure that the router is ready.

Assigning an IP address manually

To manually assign an IP address, you need to know the default settings of WL-530gV2:

•IP address: 192.168.1.1

•Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

To set up a connection with a manually assigned IP address, the address of your PC and the wireless router must be within the same subnet:

•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 WL530gV2)

•Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of WL530gV2)

•DNS: 192.168.1.1 (WL-530gV2), or assign a known DNS server in your network.
