| 740854 | 2009-01-21 08:01:00 | I have a Asus WL-520gu router to which I need to know if I can connect more than 1 wireless computer to it. I know it has only 1 wan and 4 lan, so does that mean I am limited in my connection? | karbren (14078) | ||

I know it has only 1 wan and 4 lan, so does that mean I am limited in my connection? You can connect as many computers/laptops/whatever to your router using the wireless connection as you like (there is a theoretical limit, but you're not going to come close to reaching it). I have an identical router to you here, and have 4-5 computers connected to it wirelessly at any one time. |

| 740856 | 2009-01-21 08:42:00 | That's good to know but how do I set the second computer up so I can achieve this properly. I have a fair idea but want to do this right first time rather than mucking around changing things I don't know. | karbren (14078) | ||
| 740857 | 2009-01-21 08:47:00 | If you've encrypted it (dont use WEP, give it a passphrase, which you should do), put the same info on the other PC Double click on its LAN properties. Go to TCP/IP and change it to use the following ip And put an ip in, which is within the router's ip range, put the ip of the router in gateway, and in primary dns and one of the ISP's dns server ips in under secondary / alternate dns server |

| 740858 | 2009-01-21 08:50:00 | I currently use WEP for my sons laptop but I am not quite sure where I go to start for your instructions. | karbren (14078) | ||
| 740859 | 2009-01-21 08:55:00 | If you want to change it to something other than WEP you need to change it in the router first to something like WPA or WPA2 BUT the connected / other computers need to support it as well If you want to leave it on WEP (which is probably not a good idea, other people may use your broadband). Just do the same as what you did on the sons PC |

| 740860 | 2009-01-21 09:00:00 | I set up that with the help of the guy I brought it from as there was a number I had to copy from the router setup page but when I tried to do the same for my sons PSP it would not connect. I was using this as trial in order to see if I could get it going before I tried my other PC. It was put on WEP because we couldn't get WPA working for some reason. | karbren (14078) | ||
| 740861 | 2009-01-21 09:04:00 | WHAT firmware version is on it?? It looks like its up to 3.0.0.3 as of 12/1/09 now Have a look here (vip.asus.com) See if someone has the same prob / and a fix |

| 740862 | 2009-01-21 09:05:00 | If you mean the router it is an ASUS | karbren (14078) | ||
| 740863 | 2009-01-21 09:07:00 | Nope, routers have firmware (kind of like BIOS updates), which may fix known probs / issues. The version should be in the router somewhere |
