To initially configure your router, you’ll use a wired connection to your computer. Once
you’ve connected to the internet through the router, you may switch to a wireless
connection if desired.
The computer used to configure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address
automatically using a DHCP server (this is the default). The WZR2-G300N has a default
LAN IP address of
192.168.11.1 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
1. Power down the Cable or DSL modem and the computer which will be used to
configure the AirStation router.
2. Plug the Cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN port.
Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or other router.
3. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the AirStation and plug the other
end into your computer’s Ethernet adapter (NIC).
4.
Important:
turn everything on in the correct order!!
Power on your cable or DSL
modem and wait one full minute, then power on the AirStation router and wait one
full minute, and finally power on the computer which will be used to configure the
AirStation.

our AirStation’s SmartRouter technology will determine the type of internet
connection you have automatically, and ask you for any needed information. If
your ISP assigns IPs automatically (most cable providers do), their DHCP server
will give your router an IP address. If additional login information is required
to connect to the internet, the wizard will ask for it. Enter any required login

To connect wireless devices to
the AirStation, you may either
enter the SSID and encryption key
manually, or you can use AOSS.
For more information on AOSS, see
pages 14 and 15.
Consult your wireless clients’
manuals for instructions on
configuring them manually. You
can get SSID and encryption
information from the AirStation’s
Connecting Wireless Clients to the Access Point
initial setup screen, as shown above. By default, encryption is
not enabled
(“open”).
If you prefer to use encryption and/or a different SSID, you may change these
default settings under the
Wireless Config
Tab.
