1. Introduction 1.1. Welcome This AirStation wireless router comes with two different firmware packages. You may use either the dd-wrt-based Professional firmware or the simple User-friendly firmware. By default, the Professional firmware is preinstalled for US/EU products, and the User-friendly firmware is preinstalled for Asia-Pacific products. 1.2. Device Configuration From the factory, the router is configured as a network bridge.
2. Configuration via the Web Interface The router contains an integrated web server that provides an easy to use web interface. It allows configuration, administration, and status checking in a simple but effective way. When accessing the web GUI for the first time, change the default username and password. By default, the router’s status page can be accessed without authentication, but this can be disabled. The web interface was successfully tested on the following browsers: - Internet Explorer 7.
2.3.
2.3.1. Setup 2.3.1.1. Basic Configuration Setup Assistant The setup assistant provides a step-by-step interface for basic router configuration. This configures most common settings automatically. WAN Setup Here you’ll find the most important settings to configure your internet access and WAN port. DHCP is enabled by default, but you can also use PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, static IP, or HeartBeat Signal. If you don’t use a password to log in to your ISP, you may need to enter “0000” for the password.
DynDNS Service Description Disabled Default, no DynDNS DynDNS.org freedns.afraid.org ZoneEdit.com No-IP.com 3322.org easyDNS.com TZO.com DynSIP.org Custom 2.3.1.3. Individual DynDNS service configuration MAC Address Cloning MAC address cloning lets you assign a different MAC address to the router than the one encoded in the hardware. 2.3.1.4. Advanced Routing Operating Mode The default operating mode of the router is Gateway. Other routing protocols are available.
Bonding offers the ability to “bond” interfaces together. Bonding can be used to enhance throughput or provide failover capabilities. Port Setup The port setup section allows further configuration of the routers network interfaces. Network interfaces can be separated from the bridge and it is possible to assign separate network settings for each interface.
Wireless Network Mode Defines the IEEE802.11 networking mode. Mode Description Disabled Interface is disabled Mixed 2.4 GHz 802.11b / 802.11g / 802.11n mixed mode A-Only 5 GHz 802.11a mode (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices cannot connect) B-Only 2.4 GHz 802.11b mode (802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices cannot connect) G-Only 2.4 GHz 802.11g mode (802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11n devices cannot connect) BG-Mixed 2.4 GHz 802.11b & 802.11g mixed mode (802.11a and 802.
2.3.2.2. Wireless Security Because wireless data packets can easily be sniffed, wireless connections require a greater level of security to ensure that data cannot be read by unauthorized users. Security Mode Mode Description Disabled No encryption set (not recommended!) WPA Personal WPA encryption with a passphrase (text password) WPA Enterprise (AP only) WPA encryption with Radius Client authentication according to 802.
devices AES AES encryption offers a better level of security but might not be supported by a number of client devices and requires less CPU processing power. TKIP + AES Mixed mode – offers best compatibility but doesn’t work in all environments If RADIUS security is used, the MAC address format has to be set accordingly. RADIUS MAC format options Description aabbcc-ddeeff Standard aabbccddeeff aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff 2.3.2.3.
2.3.2.4. MAC Filter The MAC Filter defines a list of client MAC addresses that are allowed to connect wirelessly. MAC addresses that aren’t on the list aren’t allowed to connect. 2.3.3. Services 2.3.3.1. Services The services section allows the configuration of basic service settings. Telnet and SSH can be configured this way. Remote access options are configured in the Administration section.
2.3.3.3. PPPoE Server Some applications require a PPPoE server on the router, which can be configured here. The PPPoE server is disabled by default. 2.3.3.4. VPN The router can also be configured as VPN server or VPN client. PPTP When defining the PPTP server’s IP range, avoid overlap with the range of IP addresses handed out by DHCP if DHCP is enabled. The IP range is defined using the following syntax: xxx.xxx.xxx.- for example 192.168.1.
The User/Password data are entered as follows: * * for example testuser * test * Be careful enabling anonymous login. If anonymous login is enabled, everyone accessing your network has permission to read and write data. 2.3.3.7. Hotspot Most hotspot software requires a server to store user settings and login information. Please note that Sputnik is a commercial hotspot service that requires an agreement with Sputnik for usage. 2.3.3.8.
forwarded to specific internal devices and computers. Each port forwarding entry defines a source port and a target IP address. Before adding or removing a port forwarding entry, save all changed settings. Any changes not saved will be lost when a port forwarding entry is added or deleted. 2.3.6.2. Port Range Forwarding Port range forwarding works similarly to port forwarding.
Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish. default setting is English. The Before using Telnet or SSH, activate the associated service(s) in this section. 2.3.7.2. Keep Alive Keep-Alive lets you configure monitoring options that automatically reboot the router if a service malfunction causes it to fail to respond. 2.3.7.3. Commands Entering Linux commands is one of the most powerful ways to access the router’s functionality.
2.3.8.2. WAN If the WAN interface is enabled, this screen displays WAN settings and throughput statistics. 2.3.8.3. LAN Here you can find LAN-related information like active clients and DHCP clients. 2.3.8.4. Wireless The wireless LAN status screen displays the current wireless LAN interface configuration, wireless LAN clients (in AP modes), and access points (in client modes). If there’s more than one wireless LAN interface, you can switch between them via the interface pull down menu. 2.3.8.5.
3. Use Cases The following use cases relate to the most commonly used router configurations. The related router configuration is explained step by step. 3.1. Access Point Access Point (AP, sometimes also called “Infrastructure Mode”) is the mode where the router is also the central wireless hub that connects to the LAN and provides access to wireless devices. These wireless clients of the AP can communicate with each other and with wired devices on the network such as the Internet.
Enter your country in “Regulatory Domain” In the “Antenna Gain“ field, please enter the gain of the antenna on your router. The firmware will adjust the transmit power accordingly to meet regulatory requirements. Please keep in mind that very long cables can dampen the HF signal thus reducing the usable antenna gain. Configure “Wireless Mode“ to “AP“ Set your desired wireless mode in “Wireless Network Mode“.
Enter a name for your wireless network into “Wireless Network Name (SSID)”. Click “Save“. Wireless -> Wireless Security Choose and configure your desired security mode. Please note that WEP is insecure and should only be used if no other option is available. Click “Apply Settings“ You can now connect the router to the Internet and your local network. If you’re running a DHCP server in your LAN, connected wireless devices will get their IP addresses from the server. 3.2.
Time Settings o Choose your time zone. Click “Save“. Wireless -> Basic Settings Enter your country in “Regulatory Domain” In the “Antenna Gain“ field, please enter the gain of your AirStation’s antenna. The firmware will adjust the transmit power automatically to meet regulatory requirements. Please note that the use of a long extension cable for your antenna will reduce the usable antenna gain. Configure “Wireless Mode“ to “Client“.
Setup -> Basic Setup WAN Setup o Choose “Disabled” for “Connection Type” (this will be set automatically). Network Setup o Enter the desired LAN-side IP address for the router into “Router IP”. o “Disable“ “DHCP Server”. Time Settings o Choose your time zone. Click “Save”. Wireless -> Basic Settings Enter your country in “Regulatory Domain”. In the “Antenna Gain” field, please enter the gain of your AirStation’s antenna.
