Chapter 1 - Product Overview
Installing Your AirStation
To install your AirStation, insert the software CD from your package into your computer and follow
the directions on the screen. For more infomation about installation, turn to chapter 3 of this
manual.
Professional or User-friendly?
This AirStation wireless router comes with two different firmware packages. You may use either the
dd-wrt-based Professional firmware or the simple User-friendly firmware. By default, the Professional
firmware is preinstalled for US/EU products, and the User-friendly firmware is preinstalled for Asia-
Pacific products.
Turn to page 19 for instructions on switching between the two firmware packages.
Note : Most of this manual documents the user-friendly version of the firmware. For more
information on the dd-wrt-based professional firmware, consult the help files in its web-
based configuration interface or the
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual for Professional Firmware

available for download from Buffalo Technology.

Product Overview
Air Navigator CD Requirements
The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices.
However, the automatic installation program on the CD requires a connected Windows 7, Vista or
XP computer to run.
If you use the AirStation with a different operating system, you will have to
configure your network settings manually from a browser window.
300 Mbps High Speed Mode
300 Mbps is the link speed when using Wireless-N mode. It represents actual wireless data speeds,
including overhead. Because the overhead is not available for user data transfer, usable wireless
throughput will be substantially slower.
