performance. To use High-throughput mode, set the Bandwidth to
80 MHz and choose an Extension Channel.
Note: If Auto Channel is selected, then the Extension Channel is set
automatically.
Broadcast SSID If [Allow] is checked, then the AirStation will respond to SSID
searches from wireless devices by broadcasting its SSID. If [Allow] is
unchecked, then the AirStation ignores SSID searches from wireless
devices.
Parameter Meaning
Wireless authentication Species the authentication method used when connecting to a
wireless device.
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 WEP’s 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.
Parameter Meaning
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless
connections. There are two dierent 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.
Rekey interval Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
(minutes).
Setup WEP encryption key A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four dierent
formats. An ASCII passphrase may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric
characters (case-sensitive). A hexadecimal passphrase may use either 10
or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case-sensitive).
Congure advanced wireless settings.
Parameter Meaning
BSS Basic Rate Set BSS (Basic Service Set) congures the transmission rate of control
communication frames for a wireless client. Setup choices may vary
with dierent wireless clients.
Multicast Rate Set the communication speed of multi-cast packets.
802.11n Protection Enable to use 802.11n protection. 802.11n protection gives priority
to 802.11n devices in mixed mode (11b/g or 11a) networks.
DTIM Period Set the beacon responding interval (1 -255) for which the AirStation
responds to a wireless device. This setting is eective only when
power management is enabled for the wireless device.
Privacy Separator If enabled, the Privacy Separator blocks communication between
wireless devices connected to the AirStation. Wireless devices will
be able to connect to the Internet but not with each other. Devices
that are connected to the AirStation with wired connections will
still be able to connect to wireless devices normally.
Output Power This sets the output of the wireless signal. Because the wireless
transmission output and signal distance range are nearly
proportional, when the wireless transmission output is reduced,
the signal distance range also becomes shorter.
Set priorities for specic communications.
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 dened 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

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 dierent wireless channel for your wireless router. Log in to the
wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Cong tab and then the Basic tab. Wireless
channels from 1 - 11 may be selected. Try the Auto-Channel option if available. Otherwise, manually
select an alternate channel and click [Apply].
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access
the Internet with my web browser.
First, power o 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 o 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

There are several restrictions on using the AirStation’s USB port:
• When using two-byte characters (such as Japanese), keep folder and le names within 80
characters. You may not be able to copy a folder or a le whose name length is more than 80
characters.
• You cannot set attributes (hidden or read-only) for folders or les 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 le names contain any of the following characters,
you may not access data or manipulate les on the AirStation properly. In such a case, use a
dierent character.
• If a le 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 le when connecting via
SMB from Mac OS X if it contains any of these characters:
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : ” , | *
• Cancelling or aborting a le copy may leave the le incomplete, and you may no longer be able
to delete the incomplete le. This can also happen during a power outage or if the LAN cable is
suddenly disconnected. If it happens, restart the AirStation, delete the le, and try copying the le
again.
• Use the same username and password for the AirStation as the user’s Windows login. If they
are dierent, 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.
• 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 (dierent) guest account already exists on the AirStation.
• If you access a shared folder from a Macintosh computer, additional Mac OS X information les
may be automatically generated. Do not delete these les from a Windows computer. Otherwise,
you may no longer be able to access folders from a Macintosh.

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 AirStation’s USB port at a time. Drives
manufactured by other companies besides Bualo 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 le systems for USB hard drives are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and XFS.

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of [4.33] dB.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required
antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un
environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm
de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.
Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de dB [4.33].
Une antenne à gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par les règlements d’Industrie Canada.
L’impédance d’antenne requise est de 50 ohms.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peutfonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pourl’émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectriqueà l’intention des
autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que lapuissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire àl’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.
