SOHO/SMB Networking

With high-speed DSL or CATV connections readily available, many users can work effectively from a home office, connected securely to a corporate network. Buffalos solutions are ideal for home networks that require secure, high-speed access to the corporate LAN. Tools that play an integral part in Buffalos solutions include VPN connectivity for secure access to corporate resources, which enable the remote employee to handle information from clients or coworkers as if they were in the

you to combine and share wired and wireless computers and printers with the high-speed internet connection. 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 DSLs LAN Ethernet cable into the AirStations 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 Ethernet adapters (NIC) port. If you plan to initially configure the AirStation via a wireless connection, (not recommended), you may skip this step. 4. Power on your cable or DSL modem, wait one full minute, Power on the AirStation router, wait another full minute and then power on the computer which will be used to configure the AirStation. If the red DIAG light on the AirStation is lit or flashing after several minutes of being powered on, please consult Buffalo Technical Support.

Antenna Installation

The WBR2-G54 has two internal antennas. One has a vertical orientation while the other has a horizontal orientation. This setup is ideal because it allows for proper antenna polarization with both desktop and notebook style wireless adapter antennas. However, it may be necessary to increase your range further by installing an external, higher-gain antenna. External antennas come in all shapes and sizes. Antennas also come with different connectors. The WHR2-G54 has an MC Connector on it. Thus, the antenna must also have an MC connector. To install the antenna, slide the antenna connector door on the back of the WBR2-G54 to the right. This will expose the MC Connector. Attaching the antenna is simple, just insert the antennas MC Connector into the WBR2-G54s MC Connector and firmly push it in until it snaps into place. Once snapped, the antennas connector will swivel with ease. It is important not to push the antenna connector in at an angle. To remove the antenna, pull the antenna connector out. It is important not to pull the antenna connector out at an angle.

Standard Settings

Configuring the AirStation using a standard web browser requires basic wireless configuration knowledge. Setup includes manual wireless configuration and basic administrative management.

AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is a simple, one-touch setup for connecting wireless clients to an access point while setting up the most secure possible connection. Users no longer need to worry about choosing the proper security protocols, IP addresses, or ESS-ID's. The intelligence of AOSS determines the most optimal connection and configures itself in seconds. n NOTE: AOSS automatically creates a secure connection between your AOSS Access Point and client. You must have a Buffalo AOSS enabled wireless client device to use the AOSS features of your AOSS Access Point/Router.

Configure your WBR2-G54's internet con-
nection by referring to the instructions in the WBR2-G54's Quick Setup Guide. Once the WBR2-G54 has been configured, follow the directions to install your wireless client device and its drivers if necessary. Certain wireless client adapters require client software to configure them. If your device has a Client ManStandalone Client Manager Client Manager ager, then install it as well. Device Software AOSS Device n NOTE: If the wireless client adapter is installed on a PC, then the AOSS client manager will need to be installed as well. If your wireless client adapter is a standalone device that does not require a PC, then just power up the device. Standalone Devices: Ethernet Converters and Access Point Bridges Client Manager Devices: CardBus, USB, and PCI Adapters.
Now that the WBR2-G54 and wireless client adapter are installed, you can use AOSS to configure them. To begin the configuration, press the AOSS button on the back of the WBR2-G54 for 3-5 seconds. The AOSS light will begin to flash when the AOSS mode has been enabled. You can stop pressing the button at this point. n NOTE: AOSS mode will stay active for a period of two minutes. This is the time-slot required to initiate the wireless client adapter. The AOSS LED will stop flashing when AOSS mode has stopped or timed out. Refer to your wireless client adapter's AOSS supplement to initiate the wireless client adapter's AOSS mode. It typically takes 10-15 seconds for the AOSS light to stop flashing after the AOSS button has been pressed on the wireless client adapter. Once configuration is complete, the AOSS light will remain steady. Please refer to your wireless client adapter's supplement for the remainder of the setup.
Additional AOSS Information: Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be configured to the AOSS router at a time. Thus,
the button will need to be repressed for each additional AOSS wireless client adapter that will be connected. 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 WBR2G54's advanced configuration menus.

The following is a list of good practices with WDS: 1. Start the wireless bridge system with only two access points and then add more access points. 2. Setup all access points in the wireless bridge in close proximity before they are deployed to their proper location. 3. Only one access point in the wireless bridge should be serving DHCP and routing services unless a routed wired network exists. Proper Setup: Please follow the following steps to properly setup WDS. 1. It is recommended that all access points in the bridge are reset to their factory default settings. This is done by holding the INIT button on the rear of the access point down for 5-10 seconds. 2. Login to the first access point in the wireless bridge (this should be the DHCP server enabled access point if there is not already a routed wired network). 3. Click on the Advanced button. 4. The wireless settings page will appear. Select the proper settings for the wireless network. Record all settings on a piece of paper. All settings except for the ESS-ID need to be identical amongst all access points in the bridge. (If roaming is desired, then make sure the ESS-ID settings need to be identical as well). Press the Set button if any changes are made. (If the IP address was changed, then reconnecting to the access point for configuration will require accessing it via its new IP address in a web browser (e.g. http://NEW_IP_ADDRESS).
5. Click on the LAN port link on the left. 6. Check that the LAN side IP address values are correct for your network, or leave them as default. Record the LAN side IP address. Press the Set button if any settings on this page have been set. 7. Click on the Management link on the left. 8. The System Information page will appear. In the Wireless section of the table record the MAC address (including the :s). Please make sure the MAC address is recorded from the Wireless section and not the other sections. 9. Logout of the access point by clicking on the Logout link on the left. Close the browser window. 10. Login to the second access point in the wireless bridge. 11. Click on the Advanced button. 12. The wireless settings page will appear. Select the proper settings for the wireless network. Refer to the settings recorded from the first access point. All settings except for the ESS-ID need to be identical amongst all access points in the bridge. (If roaming is desired, then make sure the ESS-ID settings need to be identical as well). 13. Click on the LAN port link on the left. 14. Make sure that the LAN side IP address IP address setting is different then the first access point. The IP addresses cannot be the same, but they should be on the same network. It is recommended that the IP address of the second access point is one higher then that of the first access point. Thus, if access point ones address is 1.1.1.1, then access point twos address should be 1.1.1.2. If there is a DHCP server function setting on this page, then make sure to set it to Do not use or to Disabled. Press the Set button when finished.
