  • Page 4: Initial Setup

    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.

  • Page 11 Detecting Your Broadband Connection our AirStation’s SmartRouter technology will determine the type of internet connection you have automatically, and ask you for any needed information. If your ISP assigns IPs automatically (most cable providers do), their DHCP server will give your router an IP address. If additional login information is required to connect to the internet, the wizard will ask for it. Enter any required login information if asked. Contact your DSL provider for any missing login information. Congratulations! You are now connected to the internet. Open a familiar web page to make sure everything is working correctly.

  • Page 12: Connecting Wireless Clients

    Connecting Wireless Clients to the Access Point To connect wireless devices to the AirStation, you may either enter the SSID and encryption key manually, or you can use AOSS or WPS. Consult your wireless clients’ manuals for instructions on configuring them manually. You can get SSID and encryption information from the AirStation’s Wireless Config section. By default, encryption is not enabled (“open”). If you prefer to use encryption and/or a different SSID, you may change these default settings under the Wireless Config Tab.

  • Page 13: Using The Configuration Tool

    Web Configuration Tool The Setup page is the opening screen of the Web Configuration Too. From here, you can change your wireless SSID and channel, and choose your encryption type under Basic Settings. The Wireless Config section also shows your SSID and encryption settings. You can also update your AirStation’s firmware and reset your AirStation to factory settings. As you explore the configuration tool, you’ll see that context sensitive help is available on the right side of each page.
  • Page 14 Navigating the Menus The menus in the Configuration Tool let you change your AirStation’s settings. To navigate settings, choose a category at the top of the page and then a submenu below. Settings will appear on the left, help files on the right. This example shows the LAN Configuration category with the Route submenu item selected. Category Submenus Tabs Individual Settings Help and Instructions...
  • Page 15 Initialize/Reboot The Initialize/Restart page can be reached by choosing the Admin Config catagory tab and then clicking on the Initialize/Restart submenu. Click Restart Now from this page to restart your AirStation. Click Initialize Now to restore your AirStation to factory defaults and restart it. You may also initialize your AirStation by holding down the Reset button on the bottom for 3 seconds with a straightened-out paper-clip or similar object.
  • Page 16 AOSS You can get to this page by selecting the Wireless Config category and choosing the AOSS submenu. The blue AOSS button at the top left of the page has the same function as the physical AOSS button on the top of the router: it initiates the AOSS process. If all your clients support AOSS, it’s very simple to set them up. Press the AOSS button on the router, or the one on this page, and then push the AOSS button on the client device. Each client device will have to be set up seperately. Wait for each AOSS process to finish before starting the next one. You can also activate AOSS by pushing the button on your AirStation. Consult your client device’s documentation for the location of its AOSS button. If you’ve used AOSS to configure some wireless clients, and now want to add other wireless clients that don’t support AOSS to your network, this screen will give you the information you need to connect them manually.

  • Page 17: Aoss

    AOSS 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 compatable 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 witll glow a solid amber. You now have a secure network connection!

  • Page 18: Wps

    AOSS WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a simple system for configuring your wireless network securely. It’s similar to AOSS, but supported by many brands and types of wireless equipment. Your wireless clients must support WPS to use this method of setup. There are three different ways to connect your network devices with WPS. Method # 1: Within two minutes, push the AOSS/WPS button on your AirStation and then push the WPS button on your wireless client. WPS will automatically form a secure wireless connection. Consult your wireless client’s documentation for the location of its WPS button. Method # 2: If your wireless client requests a PIN code, enter the AirStation’s PIN code. You can get it from the sticker on the back of the AirStation, or from the WPS page in the Web Configuration tool. Method # 3: If you wireless client has a PIN code of its own, you can enter it into the Enrollee PIN field on the WPS configuration page in the AirStation’s Web Config Tool. Within minutes, your wireless client will be connected to the AirStation.
  • Page 19 Automatic Connection Some things to keep in mind when automatically connecting with AOSS or WPS: • Only one wireless client adapter can be configured with AOSS or WPS at a time. • It is not necessary to reconnect client devices that have already been configured via AOSS or WPS unless significant changes have been made to the wireless network. • Do not attempt to configure two separate AOSS or WPS networks at the same time, as it may cause undesired configurations. • If an undesired client has connected via AOSS or WPS, it can be disconnected from within the WZR-HP-G300NH’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.

  • Page 20: Qos Mode Switch

    QoS Mode The AirStation may be configured to optimize data transfers according to either of two QoS models. The switch has two positions: ON (Movie Mode) - With QoS on, the AirStation optimizes data transfers for speed. IPv6 passthrough is enabled, the wireless multi-cast rate is increased, and the size of TCP Rwin is limited. Occasional errors may slip through, but the overall rate of data transfer will be maintained. This is ideal for streaming video. OFF (Data Mode) - With QoS off, the AirStation optimizes data transfers for accuracy. The data flow may vary in speed, but data will be transferred with 100% accuracy. This is ideal for transmitting documents, images, and similar data files. The default setting is OFF (Data Mode).

  • Page 21: 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 22: 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 23 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 “SSID3”. Enter a “pre-shared key” (password) for this connection. Passwords should have 8-64 alphanumeric charactors. 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 24 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 25 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. 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.

  • Page 26: Connecting To An Existing Network

    Connecting to a Preexisting Network To add an AirStation to a network without changing the existing LAN configuration, proceed 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.
