Page 4: Initial Setup
egin by finding a good place to set up your router/access point. Some things to consider: • You’ll need to be able to plug your internet connection into it, so it should go within reach of the LAN cable from your DSL or Cable modem. You’ll also want a power outlet nearby. • Keep the access point as central in your work area as possible. Signal strength and speed fall off with distance. • Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a bookcase rather than the bottom one, if possible. Do you need a password or other information to log in to your internet connection? Many DSL connections require information like global IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, DNS server address, or PPPoE parameters in order to connect. Cable modems usually don’t require extra information. If you have a DSL internet connection, make sure that you have any necessary information handy before you continue. Your Internet Service Provider can give you this information if you don’t know it. Initial Setup... - Page 5 Placing Your AirStation our AirStation may be placed horizontally, or vertically with its stand attached. You can also mount it on the wall.

- Page 9 To initially configure your AirStation, you’ll use a wired connection to your computer. Once you’ve connected to the internet through the router, you may switch to a wireless connection if desired. The computer used to configure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address automatically using a DHCP server (this is the default). The WHR-G300N has a default LAN IP address of 192.168.11.1* and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. 1. Power down the Cable or DSL modem and the computer which will be used to configure the AirStation router. 2. Plug the Cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN port. Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or other router. 3. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the AirStation and plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet adapter (NIC). 4. Important: turn everything on in the correct order!! Power on your cable or DSL modem and wait one full minute, then power on the AirStation and wait one full minute, and finally power on the computer which will be used to configure the AirStation. *In AP mode, the default IP address is 192.168.11.100.

Page 17: Aoss
AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is a simple system for configuring your wireless network securely. If your router and your client device are installed and both support AOSS, then making a secure wireless connection between them is very easy. Push the AOSS button on the top of your router and hold it in for a few seconds. The AOSS light will begin to flash amber. You now have two minutes to push the AOSS button on your client device and finish the connection. An AOSS compatible standalone client device will probably have a little red button labeled “AOSS” on it. Push the button! About 15 seconds later, you’ll have a secure network connection. If your client device is a PC card, CardBus, or PCI adaptor, the AOSS button will probably be in its Client Manager Software. Check your client device’s user manual for instructions on where to push or click the AOSS button. After you’ve pressed both buttons, it will take about 15 seconds for the connection to complete. When it’s finished, the AOSS light will glow a solid amber. You now have a secure network connection! AOSS AOSS... - Page 18 Some things to keep in mind with AOSS: • Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be configured with the AOSS router at a time. The buttons will need to be re-pressed to connect each additional AOSS wireless client adapter. • It is not necessary to AOSS client devices that have already been configured via AOSS, unless significant changes have been made to the wireless network. • Do not attempt to configure two separate AOSS networks at the same time, as it may cause undesired configurations. • If an undesired client has connected via AOSS, it can be disconnected from within the WHR-G300N’s web-based configuration tool. • Even if your client device doesn’t officially support AOSS, you may still be able to use AOSS if you install Buffalo’s Client Manager software on your computer. It works with most client devices, including many made by other manufacturers. You can download it from www.buffalotech.com. AOSS Notes...

Page 19: Router/Access Point Mode Switch
Router/Access Point Mode The AirStation may be used as either a full wireless router or a simple access point. The switch has three positions: ON (Router Mode) - The default LAN-side IP address is 192.168.11.1 and DHCP and NAT are enabled. OFF (AP Mode) - The default LAN-side IP address of the AirStation is 192.168.11.100, and DHCP and NAT are disabled. The WAN port becomes a fifth LAN port. AUTO - The AirStation will attempt to detect another router on the network. If one is detected, it will switch to AP Mode, but get its IP address from the router’s DHCP. If no router is detected, then the AirStation will switch to Router Mode. AUTO is the default setting, and is recommended for most users. -
Page 20: Encryption And Security
Encryption and Security By default, encryption is not enabled on the AirStation unless you used AOSS to perform your setup. Anyone within range can easily connect to your wireless network. This might not be what you want. Buffalo recommends enabling encryption and setting a password for access to your network. This is easy to configure from within the AirStation’s configuration tool. From the opening page, select Wireless Config Tab, select the Basic submenu. - Page 21 Encryption and Security Many kinds of encryption are available. WEP works with almost everything. WPA2-PSK is much more secure. Choose the strongest method of encryption that works with all of your wireless devices. If you must use WEP, it is available under “Wireless Encryption”. Enter a network key (“password”) for this connection. Write down your password and put it in a safe place. You will not be able to connect wireless devices to your network without this password.
- Page 22 Connecting your Wireless Clients Each of your wireless clients will need your password to connect to the network. Click on the wireless icon in your computer’s systray, or this message if it pops up. Any wireless networks available in the area will be listed as available. Click on your wireless network SSID so that it turns blue and the click on Connect at the bottom right.
- Page 23 Other wireless devices may have different configuration requirements. Consult their documentation for instructions on how to enter your network key and connect them to your wireless network. Connecting your Wireless Clients Enter your network key (“password”) twice and click Connect. Repeat for each Windows XP computer that connects to your network wirelessly.

Page 24: Connecting To An Existing Network
To add an AirStation without changing your existing LAN configuration, just connect all the cables and power on the AirStation. With the mode switch set to AUTO, AirStation can be added to the existing network automatically, without changing any settings in other parts of the network. You can now be released from complicated LAN settings! To specify the AirStation’s IP address, proceed instead as follows: 1. Set the AirStation to AP mode by moving the switch from AUTO to OFF. 2. Connect one of the AirStation’s LAN ports to an existing router or switch on your network. 3. Temporarily change your computer’s IP address to an unused address on the 192.168.11.x subnet, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. 4. Type “192.168.11.100” into a browser window to open the AirStation’s Configuration Tool. 5. In LAN Config, configure the following settings: IP Address = [192.168.11.137] (Specify an unused network address from the existing LAN.) Subnet Mask=[255.255.255.0] (Use the same Subnet Mask as the existing LAN.) 6. Restore your PC’s IP address settings to their original values. Note: While the mode switch is in the OFF position, the AirStation’s WAN port may also be used as a fifth LAN port. Connecting to a Preexisting Network... -
