3. Configuring the Wireless Access Point

The ASUS WL-320gE Access Point can meet various working scenarios with proper configuration.
The default settings of the wireless router may need change so as to meet your individual needs.
Therefore, before using the ASUS Access Point, check the basic settings to make sure they all
work in your environment.
Note: Wired connection for initial configuration is recommended to avoid possible
setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.

1) Wired connection

The ASUS WL-320gE Access Point is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package. Since the
ASUS Wireless Router has integrated auto-crossover function, therefore, you can use either
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. Refer
to your wireless adapter user manual for wireless connection procedures. By default, the
SSID of ASUS Access Point 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-320gE Access Point, 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-320gE.
Setting up IP address Manually
To set IP address manually, you need to know the default settings of the ASUS Access Point:
• IP address 192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
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-320gE)
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of WL-320gE)
• DNS: 192.168.1.1 (WL-320gE), or assign a known
DNS server in your network.
