Configuring the Wireless Client
TCP/IP Settings
In order to access the shared hard disk drive of the ASUS Wireless "WL-
HDD" or to use the device as an AP, you may need to configure the TCP/IP
settings. The TCP/IP settings should be on the IP subnet of the ASUS
Wireless "WL-HDD".
Note: Change the TCP/IP settings only if the wireless network does
not support automatic IP addresses or if there is a problem operat-
ing the device. If you are not sure about the settings, use the de-
fault settings where the client obtains the IP address automatically.
Note: Changing TCP/IP settings may require rebooting your PC
(wireless client). When rebooting, the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD"
should be switched ON and in the ready state.
The following are the default IP settings of the ASUS Wireless WL-HDD:
•
IP address 192.168.1.220
•
