is switched on, the phone will usually keep scanning for wifi networks in
regular intervals (see also above).
How can I configure the Eco-wifi in Access Point mode, a.k.a. configuring it as
a switch?
The default mode is the so-called Router mode, in which routing takes place
between the WAN port and the LAN ports/wifi, whereby the WAN port is
located in a different subnet. Wifi and hardwired ports are both located on the
LAN side. Alternatively, in the Access Point mode no routing takes place. The
Asus behaves as a simple network switch and all IP addresses are located in
the same LAN subnet - there is only one single network. Your Internet modem
will then, by means of its DHCP server, assign IP addresses to the devices
connected to the Asus. This can be useful, for example, for devices connected
to the Asus to reach a Network Attached Storage device connected to your
Internet modem, or to achieve seamless roaming of wireless devices between
multiple Eco-wifi routers. (In the latter case, you also need to match SSIDs
and wireless passwords between all Eco-wifi routers.)
To set the Asus in Access Point mode, in the router settings menu, go to the
Administration page and click on the Operation Mode tab. Select Access Point
(AP) Mode and click on Save. The router will now reboot. Please note that
now the router settings menu cannot be reached at
Instead you will need to enter the IP number of the Asus router into the
browser address bar to access the router settings menu. To find out the IP
number, you can try the Asus Device Discovery app on Android or iPhone (not
the Asus router app or other apps). You can also do it via Windows, with the
Asus Device Discovery utility on the CD that comes with the router.
Can I use the ASUS app to control the device? Am I able to control individual
device access, or set times for individual device access (parental controls
etc.)?
Yes, you can use the Asus app to control the router settings, because the JRS
Eco firmware is an extension of the Asus firmware. The Eco specific settings
cannot be controlled from the app, those can only be configured from a
browser by accessing
