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 configured from a web browser on your computer.

Air Navigator CD Requirements

The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices.

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 configured from a browser window.

150 Mbps High Speed Mode

150 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.
