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.
