modem connection to access the Internet.
To test the Internet connection, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such as
http://www.asus.com ). The LED labeled WAN should be blinking rapidly and may appear solid as the device
connects to the site. You should also be able to browse the web site through your web browser.
If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected or the web page does not display, see Appendix D for
troubleshooting suggestions.

In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the router provides a variety of services to your
network. The device is pre-configured with default settings for use with a typical home or small office network.
Table 3.2 lists some of the most important default settings; these and other features are described fully in the
subsequent chapters. For a complete list of default settings, please refer to the section B.2 “Default Settings”. If
you are familiar with network configuration settings, review the settings in Table 3.2 to verify that they meet the
needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar with these
settings, try using the device without modification.
