WL500g

WL500g Deluxe

WL500b

64/128-bit versus 40/104-bit The following section explains low-level (64-bit) and high-level (128-bit) WEP Encryption schemes:
64-bit WEP Encryption 64-bit WEP and 40-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate in a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key, which is set by the user, and a 24-bit Initialization Vector scheme, which is not under user control. Together these two schemes make a 64-bit (40 + 24) encryption scheme. Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40-bit and others refer to this as 64-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 64-bit when referring to this lower level of encryption.

128-bit WEP Encryption

104-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate on a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption uses a 104-bit (26 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key which is set by the user, and a 24-bit Initialization Vector, which is not under user control. Together these two schemes make a 128-bit (104 + 24) encryption scheme. Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 104-bit and others refer to this as 128-bit. ASUS WLAN products use the term 128-bit when referring to this higher level of encryption. Passphrase Selecting WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits in the Encryption field generates four WEP keys automatically. A combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or symbols is required. Alternatively, leave this field blank and type in four WEP keys manually.
WEP-64bit key: 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) WEP-128bit key: 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)
Note: The ASUS WLAN family of products uses the same algorithm to generate WEP keys, eliminating the need for users to remember passwords and to maintain compatibility between products. However, using this method to generate WEP keys is not as secure as manual assignment.
WEP Key You can set a maximum of four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64bits or 128bits in the WEP pull-down menu. The ASUS Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients MUST have at least the same default key. Key Index The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you use to transmit data on your wireless LAN. As long as the ASUS Wireless Router or wireless mobile client with which you are communicating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the keys as the default key. If the ASUS Wireless Router and ALL of its wireless clients use the same four WEP keys, select key rotation to maximize security. Otherwise, choose one key in common as the default key. Network Rotation Key Interval This field specifies the time interval (in seconds) after which a WPA group key is changed. Enter 0 (zero) to indicate that a periodic key-change is not required.

Access Control

Pull down menu items:
Disable (no info required) Accept (need to input information) Reject (need to input information)
To add security, the ASUS Wireless Router has the ability to only associate with or not associate with wireless mobile clients that have their MAC address entered into this page. The default setting of Disable will allow any wireless mobile client to connect. Accept will only allow those entered into this page to connect. Reject will prevent those entered into this page from connecting. Adding a MAC Address To add a MAC address, enter the 12 hexadecimal characters into the white box next to MAC Address: and click the Add button. The MAC address will be placed in the control list below. Only a total of 31 MAC addresses can be entered into this page so determine which will be the lesser; those you wish to accept or those you wish to reject and click the appropriate MAC Access Mode.
Note: Click the Finish button to save your new settings and restart the ASUS Wireless Router or click Save and restart later.
Radius Setting (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe)
This section enables you to set up additional parameters for connection with a RADIUS Server. Values are required for this page when the Authentication Method field in the Wireless - Interface screen are set as WPA or Radius with 802.1x. Refer to Authentication Method on page 32. Server IP Address specifies the IP address of the RADIUS server to use for 802.1X wireless authentication and dynamic WEP key derivation. Server Port specifies the UDP port number used by the RADIUS server. Login Secret specifies the password used to initialize a RADIUS connection.
Note: A RADIUS server is used for remote user authentication and accounting. It is primarily used by Internet Service Providers, but can also be used on any network that needs a centralized authentication function for its workstations.

Advanced

This section allows you to set up additional parameters for the wireless router function. We recommend that you use the default values for all items in this window.
AfterBurner (WL500g Deluxe only)
Enable AfterBurner: (WL500g Deluxe) - Set to Enable to increase performance for clients (such as WL100gx) that support this function.
Note: Your network speed will slow down if you have mixed 802.11g and Afterburner clients.
Hide SSID - By default, No is selected so that wireless mobile users can see your ASUS Wireless Routers SSID and join. If Yes is selected, your ASUS Wireless Router will not show in site surveys by wireless mobile clients and they will have to manually enter your ASUS Wireless Routers SSID. If you want to restrict access to your ASUS Wireless Router , this is a simple way to do it but for security reasons, dont forget to change the SSID to something other than default. Set AP Isolated (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) - Selecting Yes to prevent wireless client from communicating with each other. Data Rate (Mbps) (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) - This field allows you to specify the transmission rate. Leave on Auto to maximize performance versus distance.

You can leave it blank, then the Wireless Router will process the DNS request. WINS Server - The Windows Internet Naming Service manages interaction of each PC with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter IP Address of server here. Assign IP Address Manually (WL500g Deluxe) Enable Manual Assignment - Selecting Yes allows you to assign a static IP address to the PC that has the IP address and MAC address mapping set in the Manually Assigned IP List.

Static Route

A route is a possible path from a given host to another host or destination. If you append one or more routers behind the ASUS Wireless Router to share the same connection to Internet, you need to insert predefined rules of route, called static route, into the ASUS Wireless Router. Then the ASUS Wireless Router could know which router the packets from Internet with different destination IP address can deliver to. Apply to routing table? Selecting Yes applies all those rules in Static Route List into routing table. Static Route List Network/Host IP It stands for the destination IP address of network or host. So it could be an IP address, such as 192.168.1.1 or a range of IP address, such as 192.168.0.0 or 192.0.0.0. If a packet with destination IP address that match to this field or within the range of this field, it will route to the device set in Gateway field. Netmask It stands for the netmask of an added network route. Gateway - This field stands for the IP address of gateway where packets are routed. The specified gateway must be reachable first. It means you have to set up a static route to the gateway beforehand. Metric - Metric is a value of distance for the network and used to decide the priority of route rules. Interface - This field decide which network interface this routing rule is applied to.

USB Application

FTP Server
FTP Server Mode The ASUS Wireless Router features an embedded FTP server for USB storage. Before using the FTP server, ensure that your USB device fulfils the following requirements. The FTP server only works with supported USB devices. Supported devices are listed on the ASUSTeK Web site at http://www.asus.com. The ASUS router supports read/write functions for FAT or FAT32 file systems and read-only functions for NTFS (NT file system) with compressed or uncompressed files. Encrypted files are not supported. If your USB storage device is formatted as a FAT or FAT32 file system, configure the FTP server to work from the first partition (partition 0). Devices with multi-partitions will be detected; however, only super users and anonymous users can access devices configured with multi-partitions. Other users can only access the directory /ftp_pub or /ftp_pvt/username/ in partition 0.
Note: WL500g/b only supports USB Storage recognized as a Mass Storage Device. It does not support other types of USB to IDE devices. Most compatible USB storage devices are plug and play; you do not have to power off the router when connecting these devices. However, USB external storage cases for IDE devices require you to restart the router after you connect them.
The following describes the available fields in the FTP Server screen. Force to Eject USB Disk When this item is enabled, pressing the Eject button will allow the router to write the cached data back to the USB disk before you remove the USB disk. Remove the USB Disk only after you press the button and get the refreshed Web page. Otherwise, you will lose the cached data.

USB Application (Cont.)

User Account and Privileges
If you have a USB disk with 3 partitions*, partition 1 is FAT32, partition 2 is FAT, and partition 3 is NTFS, the FTP directories will be constructed as follows:
\ \partition1 \partition2 \ftp_pub \ftp_pvt : Files and directories in partition 1. Super user or anonymous are allowed to access. : Files and directories in partition 2. Super user or anonymous are allowed to access. : Files and directories in partition 3. Super user or anonymous are allowed to read only. : User rights set as Read/Write/Erase, Read/Write/Read Only, or View Only, are allowed to share this directory. : User rights set as Private, are only allowed to access the directory with the user name.
The accounts root directory and its access rights on the FTP server are defined as follows:
Account Anonymous Super User [user] [user] [user] [user] [user] Condition Root Directory Allow Anonymous User to Login is enabled \ Allow Super User to Login is enabled Rights is set as Read/Write/Erase Rights is set as Read/Write Rights is set as Read Only Rights is set as View Only Rights is set as Private \ \ftp_pub \ftp_pub \ftp_pub \ftp_pub \ftp_pvt\[user] Rights Read/Write/Erase Read/Write/Erase Read/Write/Erase Read/Write Read Only View Only Read/Write/Erase
* WL500g/b can manage up to 6 partitions, but if NTFS is used on partition 1, the system will not be able to create related system directories, such as ftp_pub or ftp_pvt for the FTP server. In this case, only anonymous or super user is allowed to read data in partition 1, however they will not be able to see any other partitions.
