    1. Introduction 1.1. Welcome This AirStation wireless router comes with two different firmware packages. You may use either the dd-wrt-based Professional firmware or the simple User-friendly firmware. By default, the Professional firmware is preinstalled for US/EU products, and the User-friendly firmware is preinstalled for Asia-Pacific products.
  • Page 5: Configuration Via The Web Interface

    Because all relevant settings can be made using the web interface, this manual refers to configuration via the web GUI only. Configuration via the Web Interface The router contains an integrated web server that provides an easy to use web interface. It allows configuration, administration, and status checking in a simple but effective way.

  • Page 7: Setup

    2.3.1. Setup 2.3.1.1. Basic Configuration Setup Assistant The setup assistant provides a step-by-step interface for basic router configuration. This configures most common settings automatically. WAN Setup Here you’ll find the most important settings to configure your internet access and WAN port. DHCP is enabled by default, but you can also use PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, static IP, or HeartBeat Signal.
  • Page 8: Mac Address Cloning

    The router’s firmware offers presets for the most common DynDNS services plus an option to define individual settings. DynDNS Service Description Disabled Default, no DynDNS DynDNS.org freedns.afraid.org ZoneEdit.com No-IP.com 3322.org easyDNS.com TZO.com DynSIP.org Custom Individual DynDNS service configuration 2.3.1.3. MAC Address Cloning MAC address cloning lets you assign a different MAC address to the router than the one encoded in the hardware.
  • Page 9: Wireless

    Bridging By default, one bridge (br0) is defined and active. In this section you can define additional bridges and change the interface assignment according to your requirements. Bonding Bonding offers the ability to “bond” interfaces together. Bonding can be used to enhance throughput or provide failover capabilities. Port Setup The port setup section allows further configuration of the routers network interfaces.

    for example testuser * test * Be careful enabling anonymous login. If anonymous login is enabled, everyone accessing your network has permission to read and write data. 2.3.3.7. Hotspot Most hotspot software requires a server to store user settings and login information.
  • Page 16: Port Range Forwarding

    2.3.6.2. Port Range Forwarding Port range forwarding works similarly to port forwarding. Unlike port forwarding, instead of a single port, a range of ports is forwarded to the same range of ports at the internal target IP address. 2.3.6.3. Port Triggering Port triggering is a kind of port range forwarding where outgoing traffic on specific ports enables previously defined port forwards for the activating device.
  • Page 17: Keep Alive

    2.3.7.2. Keep Alive Keep-Alive lets you configure monitoring options that automatically reboot the router if a service malfunction causes it to fail to respond. 2.3.7.3. Commands Entering Linux commands is one of the most powerful ways to access the router’s functionality. This enables you to access services and configure options that are not accessible via the Web GUI.
  • Page 18: Wireless

    2.3.8.3. Here you can find LAN-related information like active clients and DHCP clients. 2.3.8.4. Wireless The wireless LAN status screen displays the current wireless LAN interface configuration, wireless LAN clients (in AP modes), and access points (in client modes). If there’s more than one wireless LAN interface, you can switch between them via the interface pull down menu.
  • Page 19: Use Cases

    Use Cases The following use cases relate to the most commonly used router configurations. The related router configuration is explained step by step. 3.1. Access Point Access Point (AP, sometimes also called “Infrastructure Mode”) is the mode where the router is also the central wireless hub that connects to the LAN and provides access to wireless devices.

     In the “Antenna Gain“ field, please enter the gain of the antenna on your router. The firmware will adjust the transmit power accordingly to meet regulatory requirements. Please keep in mind that very long cables can dampen the HF signal thus reducing the usable antenna gain.
  • Page 21: Wireless Client

    Wireless -> Wireless Security  Choose and configure your desired security mode. Please note that WEP is insecure and should only be used if no other option is available.  Click “Apply Settings“ You can now connect the router to the Internet and your local network. If you’re running a DHCP server in your LAN, connected wireless devices will get their IP addresses from the server.

     Time Settings o Choose your time zone.  Click “Save“. Wireless -> Basic Settings  In the “Antenna Gain“ field, please enter the gain of your AirStation’s antenna. The firmware will adjust the transmit power automatically to meet regulatory requirements. Please note that the use of a long extension cable for your antenna will reduce the usable antenna gain.
