Step 1: Connect Your Equipment A. Make sure that all equipment is powered off, including the AirStation, PCs, and your cable or DSL modem. B. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your cable or DSL modem to the WAN port on your AirStation. This is the only port that will work for your Internet connection. C. Connect one or more PCs or workstations to any of the four LAN ports on the AirStation with RJ-45 Ethernet cables. D. Power on the cable or DSL modem. Give it at least a minute to boot up. E.
Step 2: Configure Your Router Next, you need to configure your router. This is done from a web browser on a computer connected to the router. A. Launch the web browser on the computer that you’re going to use to configure the AirStation. The computer used to configure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address automatically using a DHCP server. B. Your web browser should automatically load a web page.
Step 3: Configure Wireless Settings with AOSS Now, you need to connect your wireless clients to your new network. The easiest way to do this is with AOSS, Buffalo’s pushbutton wireless setup. If your router and your client device are installed and both support AOSS, then making a secure wireless connection between them is very easy. If your devices do not support AOSS or you do not wish to use AOSS, please see page 6. Step 1: Push the AOSS button on your AirStation.
Step 3 (Continued): Notes on AOSS • The AOSS button is also the INIT button. • • • • • • • • • Don’t hold the button down for too long! One second is sufficient. If you hold the button down for 5 seconds or more, AOSS will cease and the WZR-G240 will initialize all settings. You’ll then have to restart configuration from the beginning. If your client device doesn’t support AOSS, or you just want to configure your wireless network manually, turn to page 6.
Step 3 (without AOSS): Configure Wireless Settings Manually If your wireless client doesn’t support AOSS, you’ll have to configure it manually. From a web browser on a PC on the network, log into the AirStation configuration utility (as shown on page 3). This will take you to the Home page, where you can click on the System Info tab. The System Information page gives you all the information you might need to configure your non-AOSS wireless client.
