3.1 Introduction
Con
fi
guring the AirStation using a standard web browser requires basic wireless con
fi
guration knowledge. Setup
includes manual wireless con
fi
guration and basic administrative management.
3.2 Setup Preparation
Make note of the AirStation’s wired MAC address (found on the back of the WBR-G54). It is also recommended
you record any other broadband ISP information such as global IP address, subnet mask address, default gateway
address, DNS server address and PPPoE parameters.
3.3 Setup Overview
Buffalo recommends using a wired connection, meaning your computer is physically connected to the AirStation with an
CAT5 straight cable plugged into one of the four LAN ports This type of setup will eliminate possible setup problems
due to any issues with the wireless adapter on the computer being used to configure the AirStation.
A Web browser version 4.5 or later can be used to configure the AirStation.
The WBR-G54 CD contains the Client Manager program. The Client Manager is used with a Buffalo Wireless Client
Adapter (CardBus, USB or PCI) to associate, setup and con
fi
gure the AirStation and for monitoring the wireless
signal between the AirStation and Buffalo client.
Client Manager is currently not recommended for initial con
fi
guration of the AirStation. Please refer to the Buffalo
website for the latest information and software for the AirStation.
Advanced settings for security,
fi
ltering and other features will be explained in later sections.
