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 192.168.11.1 255.255.255.0 enabled 192.168.11.2 - 66 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 devices 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 PCs Ethernet is configured for DHCP it should receive an IP address from the routers 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.
- 3 -
2. 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. When accessing the web GUI for the first time, change the default username and password. By default, the routers status page can be accessed without authentication, but this can be disabled. The web interface was successfully tested on the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 7.x and newer versions
- Firefox 2.x and newer versions
- Safari 2.x and newer versions 2.1. Preparation Connect your PC to the router and power the router on as described in 1.2.2. After the router has loaded its operating system, you can communicate with it via your LAN network interface. The easiest way to test if your PC can communicate with the router is to ping 192.168.11.1. 2.2. Web Interface Access Open a browser window. Enter the address http://192.168.11.1 into the address bar. The status page will be displayed. When you click on a tab, the login window will pop up. Enter the username and password you previously set.

2.3.1. 2.3.1.1. Basic Configuration Setup Setup Assistant The setup assistant provides a step-by-step interface for basic router configuration. This configures most common settings automatically. WAN Setup Here youll 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. If you dont use a password to log in to your ISP, you may need to enter 0000 for the password. Also, for some ISPs you should not enter the service name, as it will prevent establishing the connection. If you experience connection problems, then leave the service name empty. WAN Connection Type Disabled Static IP Description The WAN port is disabled. A static IP address will be used enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and server manually. The router obtains its WAN-side IP address from a DHCP server. Configure as PPPoE-client. For VDSL, check the VDSL-Tagging box. Establishes connection via PPTP. Establishes connection via L2TP. If you use a HeartBeat connection, consult your ISP for setup information. HeartBeat Signal is used only in Australia. Automatic Configuration - DHCP PPPoE PPTP L2TP HeartBeat Signal Network Setup Network Setup configures the routers basic settings to match the local network. By default these settings are valid for all network ports except the WAN because they are all attached to the default bridge. If ports are disassociated from the bridge they will have different settings. 2.3.1.2. Dynamic DNS (DynDNS or DDNS) Dynamic DNS allows the assignment of a DNS record to a dynamically assigned WAN-side IP address. A DynDNS client updates DNS records when your WAN-side IP address changes. The routers firmware offers presets for the most common DynDNS services plus an option to define individual settings.

DynDNS Service Disabled DynDNS.org freedns.afraid.org ZoneEdit.com No-IP.com 3322.org easyDNS.com TZO.com DynSIP.org Custom Description Default, no DynDNS 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. 2.3.1.4. Advanced Routing Operating Mode The default operating mode of the router is Gateway. Other routing protocols are available. Modus Gateway BGP Rip2 Router Router Static Routing The Static Routing section lets you add static routes. The input parameters are equivalent to the parameters of the Linux command route. Description Gateway (default) BGP Routing Rip2 Routing Router 2.3.1.5. Networking The Networking section allows detailed network configuration. VLAN Tagging Use this option to configure VLAN tagging. 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.
- 7 -
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. Network interfaces can be separated from the bridge and it is possible to assign separate network settings for each interface. If an interface is separated from the bridge, add routing rules to allow communication between the interface and the bridge or other unbridged interfaces. DHCPD Besides the default DHCP server, you can define additional DHCP servers. 2.3.1.6. EoIP Tunnel EoIP (Ethernet over IP) tunnels can transport Ethernet data packages via a tunnel over existing IP connections. You can define up to 10 tunnels that can also be bonded. 2.3.2. 2.3.2.1. Basic Settings Wireless Each Wireless LAN interface has its own section in the wireless basic settings screen. The wireless interfaces are labelled ath0 and ath0.1 ath0.4 depending on the number of radios installed. To correctly identify the antenna connectors, please compare the MAC addresses printed on the enclosure with the addresses displayed in the web interface. Wireless Mode This parameter is used to define the operating mode of the Wireless LAN interface. You can select among the following modes:
Modus AP Client Client-Bridge Description WLAN Access Point mode (default) WLAN Client mode Client-Bridge mode allows connecting to another Wireless LAN access point and establishing a network bridge with that access point Adhoc operating mode, required for building mesh networks WDS Station is the client in a WDS-AP <-> WDS station bridge. This is a special wireless networking mode that offers better flexibility and security than the classical MAC address based WDS. WDS AP is the AP side for WDS AP <-> WDS Station. A WDS AP allows connections from WDS Stations and Wireless Clients.

Adhoc WDS Station WDS AP Wireless Network Mode Defines the IEEE802.11 networking mode. Mode Disabled Mixed B-Only G-Only BG-Mixed NG-Mixed Description Interface is disabled 2.4 GHz 802.11b / 802.11g / 802.11n mixed mode 2.4 GHz 802.11b mode (802.11g and 802.11n devices cannot connect) 2.4 GHz 802.11g mode (802.11b, and 802.11n devices cannot connect) 2.4 GHz 802.11b & 802.11g mixed mode (802.11n devices cannot connect) 2.4 GHz 802.11n & 802.11g mixed mode (802.11b devices cannot connect) 2.4 GHZ 802.11n mode (802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g devices cannot connect) N-Only (2.4 GHz) Channel Width Some wireless network modes support wireless channel widths besides the standard 20 MHz. 802.11g & 802.11n offer the option to use 40 MHz channels for enhanced throughput. Both the AP and the client must support 40 MHz channels to use them. Wireless Channel (AP only) Set the desired wireless channel, or let the router choose a free channel automatically. If the router is in classic WDS (MAC address based) mode, then the wireless channel must be selected manually. Wireless Network Name (SSID) The name of the wireless network the radio transmits or connects to
(depending on the wireless mode) Wireless SSID Broadcast (AP only) The name of the wireless network (SSID) may be broadcasted or not. Not broadcasting does not prevent the network from being detected by a wireless network sniffer; it just hides the name. Advanced Settings Check this box to get access to advanced wireless settings. These advanced parameters should be only modified by experienced users. 2.3.2.2. Wireless Security Because wireless data packets can easily be sniffed, wireless connections require a greater level of security to ensure that data cannot be read by unauthorized users. Security Mode Mode Disabled Description No encryption set (not recommended!)

(AP only) RADIUS WEP 802.1x (Client only) WPA encryption with a passphrase (text password) WPA encryption with Radius Client authentication according to 802.1x WPA2 encryption with a passphrase (text password) WPA2 encryption with Radius Client authentication according to 802.1x WPA & WPA2 encryption in WPA/WPA2 mixed mode with a passphrase (text password) WPA & WPA2 encryption in WPA/WPA2 mixed with Radius Client authentication according to 802.1x WEP 64 Bit / 128 Bit encryption (insecure;
not recommended!) Client side mode to connect to APs working with WPA Enterprise Modes via RADIUS authentication Description Standard When using WEP encryption (not recommended), the user can choose between 64 bit and 128 bit keys. Keys can be entered as passphrases that are used to generate the Hex keys. Theoretically 128 bit keys offer a higher level of security but because of design flaws, thats not the case in actual use. Key length 64 Bit (10 Hexadecimal characters) 128 Bit (26 Hexadecimal characters) With WPA or WPA2 encryption, there are several encryption algorithms to choose from. AES is more secure but TKIP is more widely supported. There is also a TKIP + AES setting, but that does not offer more security than TKIP. Algorithm TKIP Description TKIP encryption, supported by most clients devices AES encryption offers a better level of security but might not be supported by a number of client devices and requires less CPU processing power. Mixed mode offers best compatibility but doesnt work in all environments TKIP + AES If RADIUS security is used, the MAC address format has to be set accordingly. AES

AOSS/WPS Description Standard AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure Setup) is Buffalo Technologys system to automatically connect wireless clients to an access point. Just press the button on the AirStation, then press the button for the wireless client (which might be in its software). AOSS will connect the wireless devices automatically. AOSS is recommended if all of your wireless devices support it. AOSS can only be used in AP mode. The WPS is a standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. There are two methods of configuration, PBC and PIN. PBC is similar to AOSS. PIN uses a unique PIN code to register the wireless client to the AirStation. If your wireless devices support it, WPS makes configuration simple and automatic. Enable AOSS Enables the AOSS Service. When disabled, AOSS cannot be used. Start AOSS Negotiation To initiate AOSS, either click the AOSS button in the GUI or hold down the AOSS button on the front of the router for 3 seconds. Security Modes You may choose which security modes are offered in the AOSS negotiation process. The use of WEP in general is not recommended due to security concerns. WPS Button Enables the WPS button. When disabled, WPS button cannot be used. WPS PIN Enter the PIN code printed on your client device or your client authentication application. 2.3.2.4. MAC Filter The MAC Filter defines a list of client MAC addresses that are allowed to connect wirelessly. MAC addresses that arent on the list arent allowed to connect.

2.3.3. Services 2.3.3.1. Services Description The services section allows the configuration of basic service settings. Telnet and SSH can be configured this way. Remote access options are configured in the Administration section. Available DHCP Server Domains WAN LAN / WLAN Rflow / MACupd Interface Options LAN & WLAN LAN WLAN Standard Standard Description 2.3.3.2. FreeRadius Certain applications (for example, Chillispot hotspot software) benefit from a RADIUS server for management of user credentials and settings. Server Certificate This section contains the parameters to generate the RADIUS server certificate. The certificate needs to be generated before clients can be configured to connect to the RADIUS server. Certificate Status Displays the server certificate creation status. Settings Choose the port that the RADIUS server uses for client communication. The default port is 1812. Clients This section is used to define RADIUS clients (required for HotSpot usage). Users Lists the users defined in the RADIUS servers. Allows creation and modification of accounts. 2.3.3.3. PPPoE Server Some applications require a PPPoE server on the router, which can be configured here. The PPPoE server is disabled by default. 2.3.3.4. VPN The router can also be configured as VPN server or VPN client.

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. Please note that Sputnik is a commercial hotspot service that requires an agreement with Sputnik for usage. 2.3.3.8. Milkfish SIP Router This package is an implementation of the Milkfish SIP router. 2.3.3.9. My Ad Network Allows the creation of an AnchorFree Hotspot that can be used to create revenue via AnchorFree. 2.3.4. Security 2.3.4.1. Firewall Aside from enabling and disabling the firewall, you can also set additional filters, block certain network requests for the WAN interface, and manage logs. 2.3.4.2. VPN Pass-through VPN settings effect how the firewall handles IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP connections. By default, pass-through is enabled. Please note that disabling pass-through will usually prevent you from establishing VPN connections from computers located in your local network to VPN servers on the internet. Access Restrictions 2.3.5. 2.3.5.1. WAN Access The WAN access settings allow the definition of time and service related access rules. 2.3.6. 2.3.6.1. Port Forwarding NAT / QoS Port forwarding allows the assigning of WAN ports to specific internal IP addresses and matching ports. Bidirectional external traffic can be forwarded to specific internal devices and computers. Each port forwarding entry defines a source port and a target IP address. Before adding or removing a port forwarding entry, save all changed settings. Any changes not saved will be lost when a port forwarding entry is added or deleted.
- 14 -
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. This temporarily opens required ports when specific applications are opened on computers on the LAN. This offers a greater level of security than port forwarding or port range forwarding because the ports are only opened when needed. 2.3.6.4. UPnP UPnP allows UPnP capable applications and devices to open and close required ports automatically as needed. This is simple to use and does not require further configuration steps. 2.3.6.5. DMZ A DMZ computer is a special computer in the internal network that gets all incoming traffic forwarded. The task of that computer is managing this traffic. When the DMZ feature is activated the internal firewall is activated. This can pose a security issue if not handled with care. Furthermore, several services of the router, that have to be accessible from the WAN side, will not work because the associated traffic is forwarded to the DMZ computer. 2.3.6.6. QoS QoS (Quality of Service) is a procedure to prioritise network traffic by application. Specific services can be assigned specific bandwidth. Aside from upstream and downstream bandwidth, you can define settings for specific services and IP and MAC address ranges. 2.3.7. 2.3.7.1. Management Administration The Management section contains settings for remotely accessing the router and other basic settings that are usually not changed. The settings for the language used in the Web GUI are also located here. You may choose between Chinese (simplified & traditional), Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish. The default setting is English. Before using Telnet or SSH, activate the associated service(s) in this section.
- 15 -
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 routers functionality. This enables you to access services and configure options that are not accessible via the Web GUI. Using shell commands can lead to unexpected results. Use them with utmost care. Aside from executing the shell commands directly you can also save custom start up and firewall scripts. 2.3.7.4. WOL With Wake-on-LAN, you can send special data packets to compatible devices on your LAN, causing them to exit sleep mode. WOL data packets can be triggered manually or scheduled automatically. 2.3.7.5. Factory Defaults With this feature you can reset the routers settings to factory defaults. After a reset, the router will restart. 2.3.7.6. Firmware Upgrade The firmware upgrade option can be used to install a different firmware version. When doing this you can choose if the routers settings will be restored to factory defaults or kept. 2.3.7.7. Backup You can use this feature to store your current configuration into a backup file, or to restore from a previously stored configuration. This also makes it simple to set up a number of routers with the exact same configuration. 2.3.8. Status 2.3.8.1. Router The status screen displays information about the router, such as cpu load, memory consumption, and currently active IP connections. Status is updated automatically. 2.3.8.2. WAN If the WAN interface is enabled, this screen displays WAN settings and throughput statistics.
- 16 -
2.3.8.3. LAN 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 theres more than one wireless LAN interface, you can switch between them via the interface pull down menu. 2.3.8.5. Bandwidth Bandwidth monitoring displays real time diagrams for incoming and outgoing traffic for each network interface. 2.3.8.6. SysInfo The SysInfo screen combines the most important information of the other status pages. By default, the SysInfo page can be accessed from LAN devices without authentication. That can be changed in the Management section of the Administration area.

4. GPL Statement The firmware that is used in this product includes software that is subject to the GNU Public Licence (GPL)/the GNU Lesser Public Licence
(LGPL). To the extent that it is applicable within the context of the GPL and the LGPL, the conditions of the GPL and the LGPL, as well as the relevant source codes, are available from the manufacturer. The code underlying the GPL/LGPL for the software shall be provided, without any ensuing warranty or liability claims. Please see the conditions of the GPL/LGPL for further details. 4.1. GNU General Public License Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 4.1.1. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
- 27 -
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. 4.1.2. GNU General Public License Terms and Conditions or Copying, Distribution and Modification 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
- 28 -
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
- 29 -
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
- 30 -
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 4.1.3. 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR NO WARRANTY
- 31 -
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

the software CD from your package into your computer and follow the directions on the screen. For more information about installation, turn to chapter 3 of this manual. Professional or User-friendly?
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. Turn to page 20 for instructions on switching between the two firmware packages. Note : Most of this manual documents the user-friendly version of the firmware. For more information on the dd-wrt-based professional firmware, consult the help files in its web-
based configuration interface or the WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual for Professional Firmware, available for download from Buffalo Technology. Features Supports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11b/g With support for current Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation can transfer data to and from all standard 2.4 GHz wireless clients. Dual speed mode Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 300 Mbps data transmission. Supports AOSS and WPS Both AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are supported. These automatic connection standards make connection with compatible wireless devices easier. WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual 6 Chapter 1 Product Overview Security Features The AirStation is equipped with the following security features:
AOSS WPS WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES) WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES) WPA/WPA2 mixed PSK WEP (64-bit and 128-bit) Privacy Separator MAC address access restriction Deny Any Connection/SSID stealth Password for web-based control interface Firewall with easy rules Automatic Channel Selection Monitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel. Roaming You can use multiple AirStations to cover a large area. Wireless clients can automatically switch AirStations for the best signal. Initialization To restore settings back to the factory defaults, hold down the Reset button on the bottom of the unit. Browser Based Administration This unit can be easily configured from a web browser on your computer. Auto Mode (Router/Bridge Automatic Recognition) In Auto mode, the AirStation will detect whether or not your network has a router and automatically switch to the appropriate router or bridge mode. You can also manually switch between modes.
(See page 11.) MovieEngine MovieEngine uses QoS to optimise your network for multimedia streaming. This can reduce jumps, distorted audio, and dropped frames while watching streamed video. NAS (Network Attached Storage) Attach a USB hard drive to the AirStation and share it on the network as a NAS. All connected clients can access it. Gigabit Ethernet This unit supports gigabit Ethernet, allowing transmission rates of up to a billion bits per second. WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual 7 Chapter 1 Product Overview AirNavigator CD Requirements The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices. However, the automatic installation program on the CD requires a connected Windows 7, Vista or XP computer to run. If you use the AirStation with a different operating system, you will have to configure your network settings manually from a browser window. 300 Mbps High Speed Mode 300 Mbps is the link speed when using Wireless-N mode. It represents actual wireless data speeds, including overhead. Because the overhead is not available for user data transfer, usable wireless throughput will be substantially slower.

Set SSID using 1 - 32 alphanumeric characters. Wireless authentication Specifies an authentication method used when connecting to a wireless device. WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual 50 Chapter 4 Configuration Parameter Meaning Wireless encryption You may use any of the following types of encryption:
No encryption Data is transmitted without encryption. With this setting, anyone within range can connect to your wireless network and might be able to access data on the network. Not recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. [No encryption] can be selected only when [No authentication] is selected for wireless authentication. WEP WEP is a common encryption method supported by most devices. WEP can only be selected when wireless authentication is set to [No authentication]. Note that WEPs encryption is weak, and networks protected with WEP are not much more secure than those with no encryption at all. Not recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. TKIP TKIP is an encryption method which is more secure than WEP, but slower. Use an pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device. TKIP can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for Wireless authentication. AES AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device. AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for wireless authentication. TKIP/AES mixed mode TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication and communication. This is no more secure than TKIP alone, but more convenient for some users. TKIP/AES mixed mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK is selected for wireless authentication. A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless connections. There are two different formats for a pre-shared key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) for an ASCII passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case-
sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase. WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual 51 Chapter 4 Configuration Parameter Rekey interval Set up WEP encryption key Meaning Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440

Priority The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and
(Low) 1. From the queue, these packets are processed in order of priority. CWmin, CWmax The maximum and minimum value of the contention window. The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally, the smaller the value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send. AIFSN The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as the window defined by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As a result, the priority of the queue is higher. TXOP Limit The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more frames can be sent per right to send. However, the queue may interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0
(zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send. Admission Control Restricts new frames from interfering with a previous queue. New packets are prioritized lower until a queue of them is collected. As the new queue accumulates more packets, its priority increases.

What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may cause this. First, ensure the issue is not range related by moving the wireless router and the client device closer together. If the connection drops continue, then range is probably not the issue. Other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwaves, other wireless networks, and 2.4 GHz wireless phones may impact performance. Try a different wireless channel for your wireless router. Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Config tab and then the Basic tab. Wireless channels from 1 - 13 may be selected. Try the Auto-Channel option if available. Otherwise, manually select an alternate channel and click [Apply]. Issue:
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access the Internet with my web browser. Answer:
First, power off the cable or DSL modem, the wireless router, and your computer. Move the router's mode switch to the on position. Verify that the modem is connected to the wireless router with an Ethernet cable to the WAN port. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the wireless router and wait another minute. Power on the computer. Open a browser on the computer and navigate to a familiar website to verify whether the Internet connection is functioning normally. If after these steps, an Internet connection is still unavailable, power off the cable or DSL modem and computer again and directly connect your computer to the cable or DSL modem with a cable between the computer and the port on the modem. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the computer and again check for an Internet connection. If an Internet connection IS NOT available with a direct connection to the computer, please call the Internet Service Provider who installed the modem. If an Internet connection IS available with a direct connection to the computer, please call our customer support. Issue:

WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual 137 Chapter 12 - Shared Folders and the USB Port There are several restrictions on using the AirStations USB port:
When using two-byte characters (such as Japanese), keep folder and file names within 80 characters. You may not be able to copy a folder or a file whose name length is more than 80 characters. You cannot set attributes (hidden or read-only) for folders or files on the AirStation. When using access restrictions, you can register up to 16 users for the AirStation. Please note that you are not allowed to use any of the following words as a user or group name:
adm, administrator, all, bin, daemon, disk, ftp, guest, halt, hdusers, kmen, lp, mail, man, news, nobody, nogroup, none, operator, root, shadow, shutdown, sshd, sync, sys, ttyusers, utmp, uucp, www. Please note that you are not allowed to use any of the following words as a shared folder name:
global, homes, printers, bittorrent, disk1_pt1, disk1_pt2, disk1_pt3, disk1_pt4, disk2_pt1, disk2_ pt2, disk2_pt3, disk2_pt4, disk3_pt1, disk3_pt2, disk3_pt3, disk3_pt4, disk4_pt1, disk4_pt2, disk4_ pt3, disk4_pt4. If shared folder names, work group names, or file names contain any of the following characters, you may not access data or manipulate files on the AirStation properly. In such a case, use a different character. If a file created on a Macintosh contains any of the following characters, it will not be displayed correctly under Windows OS. Also, you cannot copy or properly display a file when connecting via SMB from Mac OS X if it contains any of these characters:
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : , | *
Cancelling or aborting a file copy may leave the file incomplete, and you may no longer be able to delete the incomplete file. This can also happen during a power outage or if the LAN cable is suddenly disconnected. If it happens, restart the AirStation, delete the file, and try copying the file again. Use the same username and password for the AirStation as the users Windows login. If they are different, the user may not be able to access shared folders with access restrictions on the AirStation. Date and time stamps stored on the USB hard drive may be updated by the OS accessing the AirStation. File creation or access dates may not be maintained. WZR-HP-G300NH / WZR-HP-G300NH2 User Manual 138 Chapter 12 Technical Detail of the USB port If you view the size of a hard drives on the browser, it shows a bigger value than when you see it in Windows drive properties. This is because the browser shows the size of the drive in gigabytes but Windows shows it in gibibytes. If you have logged in using a guest account from Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000, access restrictions may not work properly. A (different) guest account already exists on the AirStation. If you access a shared folder from a Macintosh computer, additional Mac OS X information files may be automatically generated. Do not delete these files from a Windows computer. Otherwise, you may no longer be able to access folders from a Macintosh. Device types that can be connected to the AirStations USB connector are USB hard drives, USB memory sticks, or USB card readers. Card readers with 5 or more slots are not supported. USB devices such as a digital cameras, CD/DVD drives, USB hubs, mice, or keyboards are not supported. Encrypted USB hard drives are not supported. Only one single drive may be connected to the AirStations USB port at a time. Drives manufactured by other companies besides Buffalo Technology are not supported. If your hard drive has an auto power mode switch, move the switch to [manual] or [on]. Leaving the switch set to [auto] may result in unpredictable behavior. Up to 4 partitions can be recognized on a USB hard drive. Available file systems for USB hard drives are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and XFS.
