No The ASUS Wireless Router also accepts a static IP address. You may manually configure the IP address and subnet mask on the IP Config page. Enter an IP address and a subnet mask in the field provided to assign the ASUS Wireless Router a static IP address. If you dont know your Gateway setting, leave it empty (not 0.0.0.0).

Site Surveys

A site survey (utility provided with the WLAN PC card and CF card) analyzes the installation environment and provides users with recommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum placement differs for each model.

4. Performance

Every environment is unique with different obstacles, barriers, materials, etc. and, therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact range that will be achieved without testing. However, has developed some guidelines to estimate the range that users will see when the product is installed in their facility, but there are no hard and fast specifications. Radio signals may reflect off of some obstacles or be absorbed by others depending on their construction. For example, with two 802.11b radios, you may achieve up to 1000' in open space outdoors where two devices have a line of sight, meaning they see each other with no obstacles. However, the same two units may only achieve up to 300' of range when used indoors. The IEEE 802.11b specification supports four data rates: 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, and 1 Mbps. Operation at 1 Mbps provides greater range than operation at 11 Mbps. The ASUS Wireless Router will automatically adjust the data rate to maintain a usable radio connection. Therefore, a client that is close to the ASUS Wireless Router may operate at 11 Mbps while a client that is on the fringe of coverage may operate at 1 Mbps. As mentioned earlier, you can configure the data rates that the ASUS Wireless Router will use. Note that if you limit the range of data rates available to the ASUS Wireless Router, you may reduce the effective wireless range of the ASUS Wireless products.

(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term modification.) Each licensee is addressed as you. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Programs source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and on the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or so derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
