• After connecting the power cord and the power source is turned on, the

Router’s power icon on the front panel should be on. It might take a few

minutes for the Router to fully start up.

• Turn on your computer. After your computer boots up, the LAN status LED

on the front of the Router will be on for each port to which a wired computer

is connected. These lights show you the connection and activity status. Now

you are ready to conﬁgure the Router for ADSL connection.

In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you

will need to change your computer’s 'TCP/IP Ethernet' settings to 'Obtain an

IP address automatically/Using DHCP'. This is normally the default setting

in most home computers. Consult your operating system’s Help ﬁles for

information on changing this setting, if required.

Quick-Navigation Tabs - You can go directly to any of the Router’s UI pages

by clicking directly on these links. The links are divided into logical categories

and grouped by tabs to make ﬁnding a particular setting easier to ﬁnd.

Help is available to the right of each page.

Setup

The panel to the left of this page contains setup wizards to allow you to

quickly and conveniently make changes to your modem router conﬁguration.

Wizards are provided for the following features:

• Internet Connection - This Wizard scans your Internet connection and

connects to the Internet. Most cable modems will connect automatically

when the Internet Connection Wizard is run. DSL modems may require

PPPoE information to connect to the Internet. If your connection requires a

password or other PPPoE information, have it ready! Your ISP can provide this

information if you don’t have it.

• Wireless SSID - This Wizard lets you set an SSID (network name) and chose a

wireless channel for your network.

• Wireless Encryption - This Wizard lets you choose the type of encryption to

use on your wireless network.

• Port forwarding - This Wizard lets you set a Static NAT to play Internet

Games.

• Windows Live Messenger Settings - This Wizard lets you enable UPnP’s

Internet gateway function. Windows Live (MSN) Messenger requires this to

function correctly.

• Wireless Multicast Rate - This Wizard sets the Wireless Multicast Rate and

IPv6 Pass Through.

• Firmware Update – This wizard installs an AirStation Firmware update.

• Initialisation - This Wizard restores the AirStation to factory default settings.

An overview of your AirStation’s system information is displayed on the right.

The wireless section displays the status and encryption settings of your

wireless LAN access point.

Shortcuts are also available for AOSS and WPS connection methods.

Internet/LAN

Internet

The Internet Setup section is for setting your broadband gateway to work

correctly with your ISP’s equipment. This includes your ISP’s Internet servers

and the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network between the gateway

and the servers.

Note: Information on what settings to use in this section must be obtained

from your ISP.

The “

Internet/LAN

” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your

Internet Service Provider.

Connection Type

From the “

Connection Type”

drop down box, you can select one of these ﬁve

connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP:

• RFC 2516 PPPoE

• RFC 2364 PPPoA

• 1483 Bridged

• 1483 Routed

• Bridge Mode Only

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard method of con

-

necting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to access

the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM)

is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK.

Setting your Connection Type to RFC 1483 Bridged/Routed

This connection method bridges your network and your ISP’s network

together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP’s

DHCP server.

Setting your Connection Type to Bridge Mode Only (Disable Internet

Sharing)

In this mode, the Router simply acts as a bridge passing packets across the

DSL port. It requires additional software to be installed on your computers in

order to access the Internet.
