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 dierent rmware packages. You may use either the
dd-wrt-based Professional rmware or the simple User-friendly rmware. By default, the Professional
firmware is installed. Turn to page 26 for instructions on switching between the two firmware
packages.
Note : Most of this manual documents the User-friendly firmware. For more information on the
dd-wrt-based Professional firmware, consult the help files in its web-based configuration
interface or go to www.dd-wrt.com/wiki.
Features
Supports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11b/g
With support for current Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation can transfer
data to and from all standard 2.4 GHz wireless clients.
Dual speed mode
Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 300 Mbps data
transmission.
Support 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.
Security Features
The AirStation is equipped with following security features:
• AOSS
• WPS
• WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES)
• WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES)
• WPA/WPA2 mixed PSK
WZR-HP-G300NH User Manual 5
Chapter 1 Product Overview
• WEP (128/64 bit)
• Privacy Separator
• MAC address access restriction
• Deny Any Connection/Stealth SSID
• Password protection for settings
• Firewall with easy rules
Automatic Channel Selection
Monitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel.
Roaming
You can use multiple AirStations to cover a large area. Wireless clients can automatically switch
AirStations for the best signal.
Initialization
To restore settings back to the factory defaults, hold down the reset button on the bottom of the
unit.
Browser Based Administration
This unit can be easily congured from a web browser on your computer.
Auto Mode (Router/Bridge Automatic Recognition)
In Auto mode, the AirStation will detect whether or not your network has a router and automatically
switch to the appropriate router or bridge mode. You can also manually switch between modes.
(See page 10.)
MovieEngine
MovieEngine uses QoS to optimise your network for mutimedia streaming. This can reduce jumps,
distorted audio, and dropped frames while watching streamed video.
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
Attach a USB hard drive to the AirStation and share it on the network as a NAS. All connected clients
can access it.
Gigabit Ethernet
This unit supports gigabit Ethernet, allowing transmission rates of up to a billion bits per second.
WZR-HP-G300NH 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 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.

The following items are included in your AirStation package. If any of the items are missing, please

WZR-HP-G300NH User Manual 49
Chapter 4 Conguration
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 dened 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.
