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 for 3 seconds. 13 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 the top of your AirStation (see page 15). 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. 14 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. If you have a standalone client device, it will probably have a little red button labled “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. standalone client device PC card Client Manager Software 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! 15 AOSS Notes Some things to keep in mind with AOSS: • Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be configured with the AOSS router at a time. The buttons will need to be re-pressed to connect each additional AOSS wireless client adapter. • It is not necessary to AOSS client devices that have already been configured via AOSS, unless significant changes have been made to the wireless network. • Do not attempt to configure two separate AOSS networks at the same time, as it may cause undesired configurations. • If an undesired client has connected via AOSS, it can be disconnected from within the WZR2-G300N’s advanced configuration menus. 16 Router/Access Point Mode This AirStation supports quickly changing the product from a full wireless router to a simple access point. Put your Airstation into Access Point Mode by moving the “ROUTER” switch on the bottom of your AirStation from ON to OFF. This changes the default IP address of the AirStation from 192.168.11.1 to 192.168.11.100, and DHCP, NAT, and the WAN port are disabled. All router functionality is disabled, and the WZR2-G300N becomes a simple access point. Access Point Mode might be desirable if you’re adding wireless capability to an existing network that already has a router. It is not suitable for most home configurations where the unit is the only router in the network. If you plan to use the AirStation as a normal wireless router, make sure that this switch is in the normal (ON) position! 17 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 Security submenu. 18 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 “Wireless Encryption”. Enter a network key (“password”) for this connection. 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. 19 Encryption and Security 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 then click on Connect at the bottom right. 20 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. 21 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. 22
