ASUS Router Setup
If you buy an ASUS WLAN router,
you can connect it to any existing Internet router (usually a device from the
Internet service provider and use it. In this tutorial, we will show you the
simple steps for ASUS Router Setup
and get to the Internet about it. This
is also the first step if you want to use an ASUS WLAN router for connecting to
a VPN service. Once the ASUS router Setup
is done and you can open Internet pages about it, you can configure a VPN
service on it.
Instructions: Connecting the ASUS Router to the existing Internet router - "Step by step"
If you have received your ASUS
router, then you are only minutes away from being connected to the VPN and to
get to the ASUS Router Setup interface.
Typically, the following settings should already exist (default and recommended
setting of all traditional routers), allowing automatic configuration of the ASUS
router:
Ø The
modem should have the DHCP function "active" and automatically assign
an IP address to the router for ASUS RouterSetup.
Ø The
ASUS router itself will therefore pick up an IP address on its own which it
will display under WAN (WAN setting: Obtain an IP address automatically). Other
devices (PC, etc.) should also be set to "automatically obtain IP" in
the network settings to have.
Ø The
ASUS Router also uses DHCP "active" to automatically assign the
connected devices an IP address of their own network. (To find settings under
LAN)
The two internal LAN networks
(LAN at the modem & LAN at the ASUS) must differ at least in the penultimate place: eg: Modem
192.168.1.x and ASUS then 192.168.2.x.
This is important because you have two separate LAN Networks; it is not
possible to use the same network on both routers! If you want to assign your
devices always an identical IP address, then you can do that via the IP address reservation on the
routers.
Connect your PC / Mac to the Asus router.
In order to do ASUS router setup, you will find a new Wi-Fi
network "ASUS" and connect to it. Alternatively, you can also connect
to the ASUS router with a LAN cable from your PC / Mac.
Start the ASUS configuration routine
ü Immediately
after connecting to the WLAN network, a configuration mask of the ASUS router
appears on the own computer.
ü You
can also start this configuration manually by opening http://router.asus.com in
the browser on the connected PC (cable or WLAN). You need to be connected
directly to the router!
ü In
this ASUS configuration , you specify the following data:
·
Username & password to manage the router
(default is user: admin and password: admin)
·
WLAN network name (in our example: vavt-VPN and
vavt-VPN_5G)
·
Wi-Fi password
Are these steps done, then you
are already connected to the ASUS router directly to the Internet and the whole
process of ASUS Router Setup is performed successfully. The easiest way to
determine this is if you open a website and it also appears in your browser.
