Some things to keep in mind with AOSS:

•

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

WZR2-G300N’s advanced configuration menus.

This AirStation supports quickly changing the

product from a full wireless router to a simple access

point.

Put your Airstation into Access Point Mode by

moving the “ROUTER” switch on the bottom of your

AirStation from ON to OFF. 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. All router functionality is disabled, and

the WZR2-G300N becomes a simple access point.

Access Point Mode might be desirable if you’re

adding wireless capability to an existing network that already has a router. It is not

suitable for most home configurations where the unit is the only router in the network. If

you plan to use the AirStation as a normal wireless router, make sure that this switch is in

the normal (ON) position!

By default, encryption is not enabled on the

AirStation unless you used AOSS to perform your

setup. Anyone within range can easily connect to

your wireless network. This might not be what you

want.

Buffalo recommends enabling encryption and

setting a password for access to your network. This

is easy to configure from within the AirStation’s

configuration tool. From the opening page, select

Wireless Config

Tab, select the

Security

submenu.

Encryption and Security

Many kinds of encryption are available. WEP

works with almost everything. WPA2-PSK is

much more secure. Choose the strongest method

of encryption that works with all of your wireless

devices.

If you must use WEP, it is available under “Wireless

Encryption”.

Enter a network key (“password”) for this

connection. Write down your password and put

it in a safe place. You will not be able to connect

wireless devices to your network without this

password.
