The ASUS WL-320gP Access Point can meet various 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 Access Point, check the basic settings to make sure they all
work in your environment.
Note: Wired connection for initial conguration is recommended to avoid possible
setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.
1) Wire connectionired connection
The ASUS WL-320gP Access Point is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package. Since the
ASUS Wireless Access Point 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. ReferRefer
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 aress for wire or wireless client
To access the WL-320gP 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-320gP.
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-320gP)
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of WL-320gP)
• DNS: 192.168.1.1 (WL-320gP), or assign a known
DNS server in your network.

6) Quick Setup in Access Point mode
1. Click Next to enter the Quick Setup
page. Follow the instructions to set up
the ASUS Access Point.
2. Set mode to AP or WDS(Bridge),
Station(Client) or URE(Repeater).
3. Setting up your wireless interface.
Specify to your wireless router an
SSID (Service Set Identier), which is
a unique identier attached to packets
sent over WLAN. This identifier
emulates a password when a device
attempts to communicate with your
wireless router via WLAN.
If you want to protect transmitted data,
proceed to steps 4 and 5. Otherwise,
go to step 6.
4. Select a Security Level to enable
encryption methods.
Medium: Only users with the same WEP
key settings can connect to your wireless
router and transmit data using 64bits or 128bits WEP key encryption.
High: Only users with the same WPA pre-shared key settings can connect to your wireless
router and transmit data using TKIP encryption.
5. Input four sets of WEP keys in the
WEP Key elds (10 hexadecimal digits
for WEP 64bits, 26 hexadecimal digits
for WEP 128bits), and then select from
Key Index accordingly.
You can also let the system generate
the keys by inputting a Passphrase.
Record the Passphrase and the
WEP keys in your notebook, then
select from Key Index accordingly.
Click Finish to enable your setting.
For example, if we input 11111 as
the Passphrase, the WEP Keys are
generated automatically.
6. Click Save&Restart to restart the
wireless router and activate the new settings.

This chapter gives information on the operation modes of the ASUS WL-320gP Access Point.
1) Bridge Mode (WDS)
Wireless bridge, also known as Wireless Distribution System or WDS, allows you to connect
to one or many Access Points. If you set the same SSID among all access points, wireless
security level could be up to WPA-PSK. Otherwise, security level is WEP only.
8) Operation Moes
Access Point
AP Mode configures the ASUS 802.11g AP for a specific purpose. By default, the ASUS
802.11g AP is set to serve as an “Access Point” where a wireless mobile client can connect
wirelessly to a wired Ethernet network.
WDS Only
With WDS, the ASUS 802.11g AP can only communicate with other Access Points.
Hybrid
Hybrid allows you to use the ASUS 802.11g AP both as an access point and as a wireless
bridge.
Channel
Both Access Points in Wireless Bridge mode must be set to the same channel.

Connect to APs in Remote Brige List (Yes/No)
Select Yes to connect to access points in the remote bridge list.
Allow anonymous? (Yes/No)
Select Yes to allow users without accounts to connect.
Note: If “Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List” and “Allow Anonymous” are both set
to “No”, it means that this AP will not connect with other APs and therefore the AP
mode setting will return to “AP Only”.
2) Client Moe (Station)
Wireless client(Station) mode allows WL-320gP works as performance wireless client card as
long as the device supports wired connection(with Ethernet port), like Game console, PC or NB.
You need to set up the wireless setting and encryption before association.
Specify the SSID and Encryption of target AP accordingly under Wireless - Interface sub
menu then click Finish button to Save and Restore setting. After system restarting, connect
the Ethernet cable to WL-320gP ETHERNET port and other device, then WL-320gP will work
as wireless client card.
3) Repeater Moe (URE)
Wireless Repeater Mode allows WL-320gP works as range extender. You can set up the
wireless setting under Wireless-Interface sub menu(same as Client Mode) the same as root
AP then the wireless coverage can be boost.
1) Site Survey(AP SCAN)
Site Survey will help WL-320gP associate appropriate AP while in Station (Client) or
URE(Repeater) mode. Make sure WL-320gP in Client or URE mode, click “AP SCAN” button
in Wireless -> Interface will pop up a window. AP Scan will collect complete AP around
information including MAC, SSID, Security, Channel and RSSI(AP wireless signal strength)
value.
