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 dierent 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 Asia­Pacic 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 conguration interface or the WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual for Professional Firmware, available for download from Bualo 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 Manual 6

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 dierent operating system, you will have to congure 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.

WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 49
Page 51
Chapter 4 Conguration
Parameter Meaning
Wireless encryption You may use any of the following types of encryption:
No encryption
Data is transmitted without encryption. With this setting, anyone within range can connect to your wireless network and might be able to access data on the network. Not recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. [No encryption] can be selected only when [No authentication] is selected for wireless authentication.
WEP
WEP is a common encryption method supported by most devices. WEP can only be selected when wireless authentication is set to [No authentication]. Note that WEP’s encryption is weak, and networks protected with WEP are not much more secure than those with no encryption at all. Not recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure.
TKIP
TKIP is an encryption method which is more secure than WEP, but slower. Use an pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device. TKIP can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for Wireless authentication.
AES
AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device. AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for wireless authentication.
TKIP/AES mixed mode
TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication and communication. This is no more secure than TKIP alone, but more convenient for some users. TKIP/AES mixed mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK is selected for wireless authentication.
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless
connections. There are two dierent formats for a pre-shared key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) for an ASCII
passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case­sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase.
WZR-HP-AG300H User Manual 50

Parameter Meaning
Rekey interval Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
(minutes).
Set up WEP encryption key A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four dierent
formats. An ASCII passphrase may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric
characters (case-sensitive). A hexadecimal passphrase may use either 10 or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case-sensitive).

Page 54
Chapter 4 Conguration
Parameter Meaning
WMM-EDCA Parameters You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default
settings is recommended.
Priority
The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and (Low) 1. From the queue, these packets are processed in order of priority.
CWmin, CWmax
The maximum and minimum value of the contention window. The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally, the smaller the value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send.
AIFSN
The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as the window dened by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As a result, the priority of the queue is higher.
TXOP Limit
The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more frames can be sent per right to send. However, the queue may interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0 (zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send.
Admission Control
Restricts new frames from interfering with a previous queue. New packets are prioritized lower until a queue of them is collected. As the new queue accumulates more packets, its priority increases.
