• Before using AOSS/WPS to connect to a Buffalo wireless client, install Client Manager software from
the included AirNavigator CD. Consult your wireless client’s documentation for more information.
• Buffalo’s Client Manager software can be used with the wireless LAN devices built into your
computer. However, it is not guaranteed to work with all wireless LAN devices available.
Note:
When setting WDS connection, only the AOSS button displayed in the WDS configuration screen
functions properly. Refer to the setup process in page 17.
If you’ve completed WDS setup by AOSS method, the existing AOSS connection between the
target AP and computers has been disconnected. Refer to the following procedure to set up the
connection again.
