Chapter 1 - Product Overview
Installing Your AirStation
To install your AirStation, insert the software CD from your package into your computer and follow
the directions on the screen. For more infomation about installation, turn to chapter 3 of this
manual.
Professional or User-friendly?
This AirStation wireless router comes with two dierent rmware packages. You may use either the
dd-wrt-based Professional rmware or the simple User-friendly rmware. By default, the Professional
rmware is preinstalled for US/EU products, and the User-friendly rmware is preinstalled for Asia-
Pacic products. Turn to page 19 for instructions on switching between the two rmware packages.
Note : Most of this manual documents the user-friendly version of the rmware. For more
information on the dd-wrt-based professional rmware, consult the help les in its web-
based conguration interface or the WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual for Professional Firmware,
available for download from Bualo Technology.
Features
Supports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a/b/g
With support for current Wireless-N, Wireless-A, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation
can transfer data to and from all standard 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless clients. Simultaneous
communication on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands is supported.
Dual speed mode
Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 300 Mbps data
transmission.
Supports 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 compatible wireless devices easier.
Chapter 1 Product Overview
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 7
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-bit/64 bit)
• Privacy Separator
• MAC address access restriction
• Deny Any Connection/SSID stealth
• Password for web-based control interface
• Firewall 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.
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 congured from a web browser on your computer.
Auto Mode (Router/Bridge Automatic Recognition)
In Auto mode, the AirStation will detect whether or not your network has a router and automatically
switch to the appropriate router or bridge mode. You can also manually switch between modes.
(See page 11.)
MovieEngine
MovieEngine uses QoS to optimise your network for multimedia streaming. This can reduce jumps,
distorted audio, and dropped frames while watching streamed video.
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
Attach a USB hard drive to the AirStation and share it on the network as a NAS. All connected clients
can access it.
Gigabit Ethernet
This unit supports gigabit Ethernet, allowing transmission rates of up to a billion bits per second.
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 8
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Air Navigator CD Requirements
The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices.
However, the automatic installation program on the CD requires a connected Windows 7, Vista or
XP computer to run. If you use the AirStation with a dierent operating system, you will have to
congure your network settings manually from a browser window.
300 Mbps High Speed Mode
300 Mbps is the link speed 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.

WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 50
Chapter 4 Conguration
Parameter Meaning
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.
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless
connections. There are two dierent 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.
Chapter 4 Conguration
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 51
Parameter Meaning
Rekey interval Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
(minutes).
Set up WEP encryption key A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four dierent
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).

Chapter 4 Conguration
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 53
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 dened 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
packets are prioritized lower until a queue of them is collected. As
the new queue accumulates more packets, its priority increases.

Chapter 6 Trouble Shooting
Issue:
What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may cause this. First, ensure the issue is not range
related by moving the wireless router and the client device closer together. If the connection drops
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 dierent wireless channel for your wireless router. Log in to the
wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Cong tab and then the Basic tab. Wireless
channels from 1 - 13 may be selected. Try the Auto-Channel option if available. Otherwise, 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. 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
customer support.

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,

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
dierent 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 dierent, 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.
