. Getting started
The ASUS RT-N13 Wireless Router can meet various working scenarios with
proper configuration. The default settings of the wireless router may change to
meet your individual needs. Thus, before using the wireless router, check the basic
settings to ensure that they all work in your environment.
ASUS provides a utility named WPS for fast wireless configuration. If you would
like to use WPS for your router configuration, refer to chapter 5 of user manual in
support CD.
Note: Wired connection for initial configuration is recommended to avoid possible
setup problems due to wireless uncertainty.
1) Wired connection
The RT-N13 Wireless Router is supplied with an Ethernet cable in the package.
The wireless router has an integrated auto-crossover function. Thus, you can either
use a straight-through or a 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/n compatible
WLAN card. Refer to your wireless adapter user manual for wireless connection
procedures. By default, the SSID of the wireless router 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 RT-N13 Wireless Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings
on your wired or wireless clients. Set the IP addresses of the clients within the
same subnet of RT-N13.
Getting an IP address automatically
The RT-N13 Wireless Router integrates DHCP server functions, thus, your PC gets
an IP address automatically.
Note: Before rebooting your PC, switch ON the wireless router and ensure that the
router is ready.
