Product Overview
Features
Supports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11b/g
With support for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation can transfer data
to and from all standard 2.4 GHz wireless clients. (WCR-GN is compatible with some Wireless-N
features.)
Dual speed mode
Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 150Mbps data
transmission.
Support 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 compatable wireless devices easier.
Security Features
The AirStation is equipped with following security features:
• AOSS
• WPS
• WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES)
• WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES)
• WPA/WPA2 mixed PSK
• WEP(128/64bit)
• Privacy Separator
• MAC address access restriction
• Deny Any Connection/SSID stealth feature
• Setting screen with password
• Firewall feature 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.
WCR-GN User Manual
Chapter 1 Product Overview
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)
Auto mode detects whether your network has a router or not and automatically switches to the
appropriate router or bridge mode. You can also manually switch between modes. (See page 10).
Air Navigator CD Requirements
The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices. The
automatic installation program on the CD requires Windows 7, Vista or XP to run. Client Manager
software is included for Windows Vista and XP. The use of other operating systems may require that
the AirStation be manually configured from a browser window.
150 Mbps High Speed Mode
150 Mbps is for WCR-GN 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.

No encryption
Data is transmitted without encryption. Avoid this option since
any communication may be intercepted.
“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.
Use an encryption key to communicate with a wireless device.
WEP can only be selected when “No authentication” is selected for
Wireless authentication.
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.

Parameter
Meaning
WMM-EDCA Parameters
You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default
settings is recommended.
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 que 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.
