AirCruiser G Wireless Router Settings
The default settings of your AirCruiser G Wireless Router generally do not
require modification.
However, from time to time you may want to change
settings such as firewall or SSID number. You can change AirCruiser Wireless
PCI ROUTER wireless router settings using an Internet browser (Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and accessing the web-based utility.
Login to the AirCruiser G Wireless Router
Whenever you want to change Router settings, you’ll need to open the
AirStream web configuration utility.
In the address bar of your browser, type
192.168.1.254
and then press the
ENTER
key.
When you login, you will be greeted by the AirCruiser Welcome Screen (Figure
5-1).
On the left panel are the Advanced Settings, Management Options, and
SmartSetup wizards which allow easy access to the AirCruiser G configuration
settings.

AirCruiser G Wireless Router Configuration Utility
In Chapter 6 below, each of the configuration options will be introduced and its
parameters explained.
Normally, users will not need to adjust any of the
AirCruiser G Wireless Router settings, however GIGABYTE recommends you
setup some form of security, or at least hide your SSID (Network Name).
After you have completed making modifications to the configuration settings of
your AirCruiser G, please click the
Logout
button to end your session.
Note:
For security reasons, you will be automatically logged out of the
Configuration Utility after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Advanced Settings
In this chapter, details for configuring the advanced settings of the AirCruiser G
Wireless Router are explained.
The Network Configuration Screen
The
Network Configuration
screen consists of two sub-areas:
LAN
Configuration
(which also includes DHCP Options, and Forced IP-MAC
Mapping), and
WAN Configuration
in which you can configure up to 4 backup
WAN connections (other internet service providers accounts) in the event your
primary WAN connection fails.
The LAN Configuration Tab
Figure 6-1 – LAN Config Screen
LAN Configuration
Allows you to modify the LAN parameters, and if you want to enable DHCP
automatic IP address assignments, you can enable it here, and specify a
Start and End address for the IP range.
DHCP Option
The DHCP server "leases" out address for specific times (Time To Live) to
Page 19 / 67

the various hosts. If a host does not use a given address for some period
of time, that IP address can then be assigned to another machine. When
assignments are made or changed, the DHCP server must update the
information in the DNS server.
The AirCruiser G DHCP Lease Table
displays the associated IP/MAC assignment and Time To Lease.
Force IP-MAC Mapping
Allows you to manually assign a specific IP address to a specific network
device (MAC address) on the network. This will be updated in the ARP
table automatically.
Verify the settings, and then apply these to your router, click the
Submit
button.
