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

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.

This chapter describes how to congure the wireless features of your ASUS WL-600g

ADSL Wireless Router.

Setting up SSID

SSID stands for Service Set Identier, also known as the name of a wireless network.

To connect a wireless router, or to form a wireless bridge system, all wireless routers or
APs or clients must have the same SSID.To setup SSID:

1. Click

to save and activate the settings.

Default

.

Setting up wireless security

To protect your wireless network, you need to setup a security mechanism at both
WL-600g and the wireless clients.

Network authentication

Network authentication uses certain types of mechanism to identify authenticated
wireless clients. WL-600g supports the following authentication methods:

This option disables authentication protection for your wireless network.

Open:

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

Shared means using the same WEP keys for authentication and encryption.

Shared:

802.1X uses RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-Up User Service) server

802.1X:

to authenticate wireless clients with a username and password. It can
authenticate user with different levels of access right.

22

, but

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

WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security

WPA:

modes for Home/SOHO user and enterprise network. The former
solution adopts Pre-Shared Key for authentication, and the latter uses the
existing 802.1X RADIUS server in the enterprise network to process the
authentication requests.

WPA - PSK:

WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the solution for home and SOHO

users who have no 802.11X authentication server within the LAN. To
setup WPA-PSK, you need to input a passphrase and let the system
generate the key. Combination of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric
characters is recommended for ensuring security.

Encryption

Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type of
algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. WL-600g supports the following
encryption methods:

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit static

WEP:

keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a
Passphrase.

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique

TKIP:

keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption

AES:

adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection
and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption.

TKIP + AES:

For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2
clients (using AES encryption) co-exist. Select this option to enable both.

This function is also referred to as Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

To set up WDS, the wireless routers must meet the following requirements:

1. Using the same encryption.

2. Working on the same channel.

3. The IP addresses of all wireless bridges are within the same subnet.

Setting up access right to WL-600g

To protect your wired and wireless LAN, we recommend setting up access protection

so as to prevent WL-600g from being viewed or modied by unauthenticated users.

Service restriction

WL-600g provides a Service Control List (SCL) that can enable or disable services

which are used to access the router conguration interface. You can choose allowing
HTTP, ICMP from WAN, or allowing HTTP from LAN. After conguration is complete,

WL-600g ADSL also provides three levels of access right: admin, support, and user.

Virtual server allows directing WAN incoming trafc to hosts or servers using private IP
