3. Getting started
The ASUS WL-530gV2 Pocket Wireless Router meets various working scenarios with proper
conguration. 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.
We recommend wired connection for the initial conguration to avoid possible
Note:
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.
Before rebooting your PC, switch ON the
Note:
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.
