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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
