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.

1.2. Device Configuration

From the factory, the router is configured as a network bridge. That
means that all network interfaces can communicate with each other
using this default bridge. The router is ready to use with a few
simple adjustments.
1.2.1.

Factory Settings

Because all interfaces are attached to the bridge by default, they all
have the same IP configuration:
IP address
Subnet Mask
DHCP server
DHCP-Range
The Wireless LAN interface is activated by default with an SSID
generated from the device's MAC address. For security, unused
interfaces should be disabled. Wireless LAN interfaces that are not
disabled should be configured with secure encryption (WPA2 or WPA is
recommended) and a secure password.
1.2.2.

Initial Operation

Connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet LAN cable and
power the router on. It will take about 30 seconds to boot. You can
then access it via telnet or web browser at the IP address
192.168.11.1. The DHCP server in the router is enabled by default. If
your PC's Ethernet is configured for DHCP it should receive an IP
address from the router's DHCP server. If not, please configure the
Ethernet interface with an address from the 192.168.11.x subnet.
Because all relevant settings can be made using the web interface,
this manual refers to configuration via the web GUI only.
