AOSS

AOSS

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

fi

guring

your wireless network securely.

If your router and your client device are

installed and both support AOSS, then making a secure wireless connection

between them 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

fl

ash amber.

You now have two minutes

to push the AOSS button on your client device and

fi

nish 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

fi

nished, the AOSS light witll glow a solid amber.

You now have a

secure network connection!

Some things to keep in mind with AOSS:

•

Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be con

fi

gured 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 con

fi

gured via AOSS,

unless signi

fi

cant changes have been made to the wireless network.

•

Do not attempt to con

fi

gure two separate AOSS networks at the same time, as it may

cause undesired con

fi

gurations.

•

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

WZR-G300N’s advanced con

fi

guration menus.

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, or con

fi

guring your AirStation as part of a repeater bridge setup.

It

is not suitable for most home con

fi

gurations.

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,

fl

ip the switch to BRI and turn to page

44.
