Supports WDSWDS bridging allows multiple units to operate in a bridged network for extended coverage.Dual speed modeDual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 150 Mbps data transmission.Support AOSS and WPSBoth AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are supported. These automatic connection standards make connection with compatible wireless devices easier.Security FeaturesThe AirStation is equipped with the following security features: • AOSS • WPS • WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES) • WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES) • WPA/WPA2 mixed PSK • WEP(128/64 bit) • Privacy Separator • MAC address access restriction • Deny Any Connection/SSID stealth • Web conguration interface with password • Firewall with easy rulesAutomatic Channel SelectionMonitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel.](https://usermanual.wiki/BUFFALO/09101884-0/User-Guide-1382843-Page-6.png)

The automatic installation program on the CD requires Windows 7, Vista or XP to run. Client Manager software is included for Windows 7, Vista and XP. The use of other operating systems may require that the AirStation be manually congured from a browser window.150 Mbps High Speed Mode150 Mbps is the link speed of 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.Package ContentsFollowing items are included in your AirStation.

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.](https://usermanual.wiki/BUFFALO/09101884-0/User-Guide-1382843-Page-49.png)

First, ensure the issue is not range related by locating the wireless router and the device dropping connection in closer proximity and check whether the connection drops continue.In some cases, interference from other wireless networks or sources such as 2.4 GHz wireless phones may impact performance. To work around this scenario, change the wireless channel used by your wireless router.Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Cong tab and then the Basic tab. The Wireless Channel setting can be selected from channels 1 to 11. If an Auto-Channel option is available, attempt to use this option to remedy the problem. If Auto-Channel is unavailable, manually select an alternate channel and click [Apply].Issue:Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access the Internet with my web browser.Answer: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.
