manual.
Professional or User-friendly?
This AirStation wireless router comes with two dierent rmware packages. You may use either the
dd-wrt-based Professional rmware or the simple User-friendly rmware. By default, the Professional
rmware is preinstalled for US/EU products, and the User-friendly rmware is preinstalled for AsiaPacic products. Turn to page 19 for instructions on switching between the two rmware packages.
Note : Most of this manual documents the user-friendly version of the rmware. For more
information on the dd-wrt-based professional rmware, consult the help les in its webbased conguration interface or the WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual for Professional Firmware,
available for download from Bualo Technology.
Features
Supports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a/b/g
With support for current Wireless-N, Wireless-A, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation
can transfer data to and from all standard 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless clients. Simultaneous
communication on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands is supported.
Dual speed mode
Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 300 Mbps data
transmission.
Supports AOSS and WPS
Both AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are supported.
These automatic connection standards make connection with compatible wireless devices easier.
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual6
Chapter 1 Product Overview

Chapter 1 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 dierent operating system, you will have to
congure 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.
Package Contents
The following items are included in your AirStation package. If any of the items are missing, please
contact your vender.
To initiate AOSS, hold down this button until the 2.4 GHz
LED and 5 GHz LED ash (about 1 second). Then, push
or click the AOSS button on your wireless client device to
