Setting Up WebAccess

WebAccess is a cloud service provided by Buffalo that allows you to access your NAS remotely over the Internet. You can

share content with everyone or with specified users. You can set up WebAccess through the settings page of your NAS,

or enable the service on your AirStation.

If you have a BuffaloNAS.com account, you can use its login to use WebAccess. You can also use your DDNS hostname or

an external IP address along with the port used for WebAccess.

Connecting Wireless Devices Using AOSS

You can use the physical AOSS button on your AirStation to easily connect wireless devices that support AOSS or WPS.

Consult your wireless device’s documentation for the location of its AOSS or WPS button.

If you already have a wireless network that was configured without using AOSS or WPS, connecting a new device with

AOSS will change its settings, disconnecting any previously connected wireless devices.

Pushbutton Method

Easily connect other wireless devices using the physical AOSS button.

1

Power on the AirStation.

2

Hold the physical AOSS button down for two seconds, then release it.

3

For the next 2 minutes, the AOSS LED will flash and the AirStation will automatically search for a nearby AOSS/WPS

device. The AirStation will automatically return to normal if a device isn’t found after 2 minutes.

4

Push the AOSS/WPS button on the wireless device. It should be automatically connected within 2 minutes.

You can repeat this for all AOSS/WPS devices you are attempt to connect with. If setup doesn’t work, open the

AirStation’s Settings page and ensure that the AOSS physical button is enabled.

Setting Up a VPN Server

You can configure a PPTP (VPN) server with either a dynamic DNS hostname or a static IP address.

Currently the AirStation supports both DynDNS and TZO. If you have a DynDNS or TZO account, you can enter the login

Using AirStations with 2Wire Residential Gateways

AT&T Internet services (U-verse or ADSL) will often assign a 2Wire residential gateway device that serves as both the

modem and the router. To add an AirStation to this network, it is best to add the unit as a client device. This way the

AirStation will not conflict with the existing residential gateway settings such as the firewall or port forwarding.

If you would like to set the 2Wire access point as the client device, or you need more information on its settings, contact

AT&T technical support.

How to Use QoS

QoS (quality of service) is a feature that allows the AirStation to prioritize traffic by type. QoS applies to both upstream

and downstream data flow, and ensures consistent performance when using certain high-traffic applications, such as

video streaming.

The higher the priority, the higher the allocated bandwidth will be. For example, if

Video

is selected, streaming video will

be given the highest bandwidth priority.

Setting a QoS Priority Policy

When setting a custom policy, select the type of traffic to be given the highest priority and lower the priority of other

traffic types accordingly.

1

Open the AirStation’s Settings page.

2

Navigate to the

Applications

-

QoS

.

Enable

Optimize for

selection.

Video:

Prioritizes streaming video traffic.

Voice:

Prioritizes voice chats and VoIP traffic.

Gaming:

Prioritizes online gaming traffic.

Manual:

Select this option to customize QoS priority for a selected operation.

5

To set a manual policy, select the operation to be prioritized and lower the priority for others. For example, if

you set Video as

Ultra Premium

-

High Bandwidth

, the bandwidth priority of other operations should be lowered

accordingly.
