AOSS

AOSS

(AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is a simple system for

configuring your wireless network securely.

If your router and your client

device are connected and both support AOSS, then making a secure wireless

connection is very easy.

Push the AOSS button on the top of your router and hold it in for a few

seconds.

The AOSS light will begin to flash amber.

You now have two minutes

to push the AOSS button on your client device and finish the connection.

If you have a

standalone client device

,

it will probably have a little red button

labled “AOSS” on it.

Push the button!

About 15 seconds later, you’ll have a

secure network connection.

If your client device is a PC card,

CardBus, or PCI adaptor, the AOSS

button will probably be in its

Client

Manager Software

.

Check your client

device’s user manual for instructions

on where to push or click the AOSS

button.

After you’ve pressed both buttons, it will take about 15 seconds for the connection to

complete.

When it’s finished, the AOSS light witll glow a solid amber.

You now have a

secure network connection!

Some things to keep in mind

◗

Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be configured with the AOSS router at a

time.

The buttons will need to be re-pressed to connect each additional AOSS wireless

client adapter.

◗

It is not necessary to AOSS client devices that have already been configured via AOSS,

unless significant changes have been made to the wireless network.

◗

Do not attempt to configure two separate AOSS networks at the same time, as it may

cause undesired configurations.

◗

If an undesired client has connected via AOSS, it can be disconnected from within the

WHR-HP-G54’s advanced configuration menus.

AOSS Notes

This AirStation supports quickly changing the

product from a wireless router to a conventional

access point.

Put your Airstation into Access Point Mode

by moving the switch on the bottom of your

AirStation from AUTO to BRI.

This changes

the default IP address of the AirStation from

192.168.11.1 to 192.168.11.100, and DHCP,

NAT, and the WAN port are disabled.

Access Point Mode might be desirable if you’re adding wireless capability to an existing

network with a router.

It is not suitable for most home configurations.

If you plan to

use the AirStation as an normal wireless router, make sure that this switch is in the normal

(AUTO) position!

To set up your AirStation as a bridge or repeater, turn to page 43.
