5 W ork and play - further and faster! Eliminate dead spots and enjoy faster connections with vastly extended range from Buffalo Technology’s amazing wireless solution, the AirStation High Power Wireless Broadband SmartRouter . System Requirements • A high-speed (Broadband) Internet connection or existing local area connection.
6 B egin by fi nding 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.
7 M ake note of the AirStation’s wired MAC address . The LAN or Wired MAC address is the default SSID (wireless network name) of the AirStation. You can find it on the bottom of the AirStation.
8 1. Power down the Cable or DSL modem and the computer which will be used to confi gure the AirStation router. 2. Plug the Cable or DSL’s LAN Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN port. Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or other router.
9 L aunch a web browser on the computer that you’re going to use to confi gure the AirStation. Enter 192.168.11.1 into the URL fi eld. Naturally, if you change your AirStation’s IP address, you’ll have to enter the new address instead. A window will open, prompting you to enter a User ID and Password.
10 Y 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.
11 This is the opening page of your AirStation’s confi guration tool. You can always get to it from within the confi guration screens by clicking on Home .
12 AOSS AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is a simple system for confi guring your wireless network securely. If your router and your client device are connected and both support AOSS, then making a secure wireless connection is very easy. Push the AOSS button on the top of your router and hold it in for a few seconds.
13 Some things to keep in mind ◗ Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be confi gured with the AOSS router at a time. The buttons will need to be re-pressed to connect each additional AOSS wireless client adapter.
14 This AirStation supports quickly changing the product from a wireless router to a conventional access point. Put your Airstation into Access Point Mode by moving the switch on the bottom of your AirStation from AUTO to BRI. This changes the default IP address of the AirStation from 192.
15 If your wireless client doesn’t support AOSS, you’ll have to confi gure it manually. From the Home page, click on the System Info tab. Manual Client Confi guration.
16 T his page gives you all the information you might need to confi gure your non-AOSS wireless client. Probably you’ll just need the SSID, encryption type, and password. Consult your wireless client’s documentation for more information on confi guring it if necessary.
