Introduction
Work and play - further and faster!  Your AirStation Nfiniti combines Ethernet networking
with extended wireless range and speed.  It offers excellent compatibility with most wireless
clients, giving superb performance with Wireless-N, Wireless G, and legacy Wireless-B clients.  
For best overall performance, use with Buffalo Technology Nfinity wireless clients.
System Requirements:
• A high-speed (Broadband) Internet connection or existing local area connection.
• A computer with a network connection (wired or wireless) and a good web browser.  The
screenshots in this manual were taken with Firefox, but Netscape and Internet Explorer
are also supported in versions 4.5 or later, and Safari 1.0 and later are supported with
Macintosh OS X 10.2 and later.

Initial Setup
Begin
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.  
Placing Your AirStation
Your AirStation may be placed horizontally or mounted vertically on a wall.  
        The antennas will usually work best if oriented vertically.
For wall mounting, screw three screws into the wall as shown below.

Initial Setup
To initially configure your router, you’ll use a wired connection to your computer.  Once
you’ve connected to the internet through the router, you may switch to a wireless
connection if desired.
The computer used to configure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address
automatically using a DHCP server (this is the default).  The WZR2-G300N has a default
LAN IP address of 192.168.11.1 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
1.  Power down the Cable or DSL modem and the computer which will be used to
configure the AirStation router.
2.  Plug the Cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN port.  
Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or other router.
3.  Plug the provided Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the AirStation and plug the other
end into your computer’s Ethernet adapter (NIC).  
4. Important: turn everything on in the correct order!! Power on your cable or DSL
modem and wait one full minute, then power on the AirStation router and wait one
full minute, and finally power on the computer which will be used to configure the
AirStation.
Log in to the Configuration Tool
Launch a web browser on the computer that you’re
using to configure the AirStation.
Enter 192.168.11.1 into the URL field.  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.
Enter root as the User name and leave the password
field blank.
Detecting Your Broadband Connection
Your 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.
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.  
For more information on AOSS, see
pages 14 and 15.
Consult your wireless clients’
manuals for instructions on
configuring them manually.  You
can get SSID and encryption
information from the AirStation’s
initial setup screen, as shown above.  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.

Basic Setup Page
You can get back to the Setup page from
anywhere in the configuration screens by
clicking on the Setup tab in the top left
corner.  From here, you can rerun the
Internet Connection Wizard, change your
wireless SSID and channel, and choose
your encryption type under Basic Settings.  
The Wireless section shows your SSID and
encryption settings.
You can also configure port mapping for your internet games, configure your
Firewall, 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.  
11
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 Internet/LAN category with the DHCP submenu item selected.
