Hardware connections

ADSL connection

Use the ADSL splitter supplied in the package to split ADSL signal and telephone service. First connect the splitter to the wall telephone outlet either by just plugging your splitter onto the outlet or by inserting the line connector into the outlet. Then connect your ASUS WL-600g to the ADSL or mode port of the splitter with the telephone cable supplied in the package. Use another telephone cable to connect your telephone to the phone port of the ADSL splitter.

The format of the connector on the supplied splitter (line or plug) may differ by region.

Ethernet connection

Use Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable to build up your wired LAN connections. The ASUS WL-600g Wireless ADSL2/ 2+ Home Gateway is a Fast Ethernet device that provides 100Mbps network connection. To ensure the connection quality, use CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect your network devices, such as desktop computers and network printers.

Splitter *: The name or the location of the ports on the supplied splitter may vary by region.

Wireless connection

To access Internet via wireless connection, you need to install an IEEE802.11b/g wireless adapter on your computer, such as ASUS WL-167g, WL-100gE, WL-100gD, WL-169gE, and WL-106gM.

WL-600g All-in-1 Wireless ADSL2/2+ Home Gateway User Manual

Connecting to the Internet

Before you start

Before you start, you need to:

• make sure the cable connections are correct and WL-600g is powered ON;

• acquire an active Internet service, such as an ADSL account.

We recommend using wired connection for initial conguration, which may

help avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty. Use a CAT5 cable to connect an Ethernet-enabled computer to a LAN port of WL-600g.

Preparing your WAN

Depending on your ISP's requirements, you may need to acquire some of the information listed below to set up Internet connection on WL-600g.

• Vitual Path Identifier (VPI)

• Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)

• Host name

• Domain name

• ISP login user name and password

• ISP Domain Name System (DNS) server address

• Static IP address (For static IP users)

Preparing your LAN

To use the WL-600g Wireless ADSL2/2+ Home Gateway on your network, you need to install a network interface card (NIC) or an IEEE802.11b/g wireless network card to your computer.

LAN conguration requirement

For initial conguration, we recommend you to connect a computer to one of the LAN port of WL-600g and congure the TCP/IP settings of your computer. The default IP

settings of WL-600g are:

IP address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP server: enabled

To access WL-600g, you must set your computer in the same subnet with the ADSL router. You can make the computer accept a dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP server of WL-600g, or manually set up IP address for your computer.
