Chapter 1 - Setup
Introduction
Thank you for buying a Buffalo AirStation. The WZR-1750DHP and WZR-1166DHP AirStations are dual-band wireless
routers with outstanding performance and range. They combine high data transfer speeds with a robust set of extra
features like QoS, wireless bridging, USB NAS, media server, and web filtering. This manual will help you set up and
use your new wireless router. If you’re new to wireless networking, turn to chapter 2 to start configuring your wireless
network.
For advanced users, use a wired Ethernet connection to access the AirStation’s settings:
•
Default LAN-side IP address:
192.168.11.1
•
Username:
admin
•
Default password:
