network clients

Managing your network clients

To manage your network clients to your ASUS Wireless Router, you must have the correct parameters for wireless, LAN, and WAN connection types. Ensure that the clients’ IP addresses are within the same subnet as the ASUS Wireless Router.

By default, the ASUS Wireless Router integrates the DHCP server function that automatically assigns the IP addresses to the clients in your network. You may also manually assign the static IP addresses to selected clients in your network.

Note: ASUS recommends the following settings in establishing manually assigned IP addresses to your client in the Router mode:

•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 Router)

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

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