3. Getting started

The ASU S WL-500W Wireless Router can meet variou s 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.

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

Note:

setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

1) Wired connectionired connection

The WL-500W Wireless Router is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package. The wireless
router has an integrated auto-crossover function. Thus, you can either use 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. ReferRefer
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 client

To access the WL-500W 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-500W.

Getting an IP address automatically

The WL-500W Wireless Router integrates DHCP server functions, thus, your PC gets an IP
address automatically.

Before rebooting your PC, switch ON the

Note:

wireless router and make sure the router is in ready
state.

Setting up the IP address manually

To manually set the IP address, you need to know the
default settings of the wireless router:

• IP address 192.168.1.1

• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

5

To set up the 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. Make sure the IP address is
not used by other device)

• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (same as WL-500GU/
GC)

• Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of WL-500GU/
GC)

• DNS: 192.168.1.1 (WL-500GU/GC), or assign a
known DNS server in your network.

WL-500W Wireless Router User Manual

Authentication

The authentication methods supported by WL-500W include: Open, shared key,
WPA-PSK, WPA, and Radius with 80.211x.

This option disables authentication protection for wireless network. Under

Open:

Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g client can connect to your wireless network.

Shared:

WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK:

This mode uses the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.

WPA stands for WiFi-Protected
Access. WPA provides two security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and
WPA-PSK for home and SOHO users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the
already existing RADIUS server for authentication; for home and SOHO user,

it provides Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for user identication. The Pre-Shared Key

consists of 8 to 64 characters.

Radius with 802.1X:

Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server
for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption methods: WPA adopts
TKIP or AES encryption methods, while Radius with 802.1X does not provide
encryption.

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This

General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to

any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and
that you know you can do these things.

50

WL-500W Wireless Router User Manual

To protect your right s, we need to make restricti on s t ha t f orbid anyo ne to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or
can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands
that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modied by someone else and

passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any

problems introduced by others will not reect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must

be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.

Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modication

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by
the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public
License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based
on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with

modications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term “modication”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are not covered by this License;

they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the
output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is
true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive

it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each
copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your

option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a

work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modications or work under the

terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed

the les and the date of any change.

51

WL-500W Wireless Router User Manual

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains

or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must

cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there
is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that

work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend
to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written

entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program

(or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object
code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which

must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party,

for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,

c) A c com p any it w ith the info r mat i on y ou r ece i ved as t o the offe r to dist ribu te

corresponding source code. (This a lt er na tive is allowed o nl y f or noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with
such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications

to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all

modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used to

control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a

designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate
your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify
the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further

restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible

for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations,
then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it
and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If a ny port ion of th is section is he ld invalid or unenforceable unde r any particu lar

circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole
is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property

right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application
of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of

the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.
In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a

version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.
