Configuring the
network clients
Managing your network clients
To manage your network clients to your ASUS Wireless Router, you must have the
correct parameters for wireless, LAN, and WAN connection types. Ensure that the
clients’ IP addresses are within the same subnet as the ASUS Wireless Router.
By default, the ASUS Wireless Router integrates the DHCP server function that
automatically assigns the IP addresses to the clients in your network. You may also
manually assign the static IP addresses to selected clients in your network.
Note: ASUS recommends the following settings in establishing manually assigned IP addresses
to your client in the Router mode:
• 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 the ASUS Wireless Router)
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of the ASUS Wireless Router)
• DNS: 192.168.1.1 (ASUS Wireless Router) or assign a known DNS server in your network
