Chapter 2: Setting up the hardware RT-N12 B1

Getting started

Setting up the wireless router

The ASUS Wireless Router includes a web graphics user interface (web GUI)

that allows you to congure the wireless router using your web browser on your

computer.

You can set up the wireless router in any of these three operation modes: Router

(IP Sharing), Repeater, and Access Point (AP). Set up the wireless router in the

Router (IP Sharing) and Repeater modes via the Quick Internet Setup (QIS), and

the AP mode via the web GUI.

Note: For details on conguring your wireless router using the web GUI, refer to Chapter 4:

Conguring via the web GUI.

Note: To set up the wireless router in the AP mode, use Device Discovery included in the

support CD to access the web GUI.

Using the Quick Internet Setup (QIS)

The Quick Internet Setup (QIS) function, which is integrated in the wireless router’s

web GUI, detects the Internet connection type automatically and guides you in

setting up your network quickly.

The QIS web page appears automatically after you connected all your devices and

launched your web browser. You may also launch the QIS from the Network Map

page in the web GUI. To do this, click Go in the QIS eld under Internet status.
