Chapter 1 - Product Overview
Features
Supports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11b/g
With support for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation can transfer data to
and from all standard 2.4 GHz wireless clients.
Supports WDS
WDS bridging allows multiple units to operate in a bridged network for extended coverage.
Dual speed mode
Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 150 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 the following security features:
AOSS
WPS
WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES)
WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES)
WPA/WPA2 mixed PSK
WEP(128/64 bit)
Privacy Separator
MAC address access restriction
Deny Any Connection/SSID stealth
Web confguration interface with password
Firewall with easy rules
Automatic Channel Selection
Monitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel.
WCR-HP-GN User Manual 6
Chapter 1 Product Overview
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 confgured from a web browser on your computer.
Air Navigator CD Requirements
The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices. The
automatic installation program on the CD requires Windows 7, Vista or XP to run. Client Manager
software is included for Windows 7, Vista and XP. The use of other operating systems may require
that the AirStation be manually confgured from a browser window.
150 Mbps High Speed Mode
150 Mbps is the link speed of WCR-GN 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.

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 defned 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.

The factory defaults are:
SSID - BUFFALO-XXXXXX (the last 6 digits of the AirStations MAC address)
Encryption Type - WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK (Connect with either WPA-PSK TKIP or
WPA2-PSK AES).
Encryption Key - Printed on the label of the AirStation.
Note: Encryption is disabled by default in Asia Pacifc.
Place your AirStation and wireless devices 2 - 10 feet apart.
Restart your AirStation.
You forgot AirStation's SSID, Encryption Key, or
Password.
Hold down the Reset button (page 99) on your AirStation for 3 seconds to initialize its settings. All
settings, including your password, SSID, and encryption key will be initialized to their defaults.
The followings are the factory default settings of the AirStation.
SSID - BUFFALO-XXXXXX (the last 6 digits of the AirStations MAC address)
Encryption Type - WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK (Connect with either WPA-PSK TKIP or
WPA2-PSK AES).
Encryption Key - Printed on the label of the AirStation.
(Encryption is disabled by default for Asia Pacifc AirStations.)
The link speed is slower than 150 Mbps (Maximum
link speed is only 72Mbps).
By default, the AirStations 150 Mbps mode is not enabled. To enable it, use the following procedure:
1. Open the confguration interface of your AirStation (page 21).
2. Click [Wireless SSID & Channel (11n 150Mbps Mode)] in Easy Setup.
3. Change the value in [150 Mbps Mode] - [Band Width] to 40 MHz and click [Apply].
If you still cannot connect at 150 Mbps, check the settings of your wireless client device.

Other Tips
Issue:
I reset my wireless router to factory settings and forgot how to log in.
Answer:
Open your browser, enter 192.168.11.1 as the browser address, then press the Enter key. You will be
prompted to log in. Enter "root" for the username and leave the password box empty (no password).
Click [OK] to log in. The option to reset your password will be available on the frst page.
Issue:
How do I forward ports on my wireless router for my gaming console?
Answer:
Log in to the router. From the home page, go to the Internet Game/ Port Mapping section. Enter the
port that needs to be forwarded and the IP address of the gaming console.
Issue:
How do I enable or modify encryption settings on the wireless router?
Answer:
Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Go to the Wireless Confg tab and then select the
Basic tab. Bufalo recommends the use of WPA/WPA2 mixed for wireless encryption. The passphrase/
key should be at least 8 characters in length.
Issue:
How do I change my wireless router's broadcasted network name (SSID)?
Answer:
Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Navigate to Wireless Confg - Basic. Find the SSID
setting. Select [Use] and enter the new name for your network. Click [Apply]. Once the wireless
router has rebooted, you will need reconnect any wireless clients to the AirStation using the new
network name. The encryption key will still be the same.

Issue:
What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may afect this behavior. First, ensure the issue is not
range related by locating the wireless router and the device dropping connection in closer proximity
and check whether the connection drops continue.
In some cases, interference from other wireless networks or sources such as 2.4 GHz wireless phones
may impact performance. To work around this scenario, change the wireless channel used by your
wireless router.
Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Confg tab and then the Basic
tab. The Wireless Channel setting can be selected from channels 1 to 11. If an Auto-Channel option
is available, attempt to use this option to remedy the problem. If Auto-Channel is unavailable,
manually select an alternate channel and click [Apply].
Issue:
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access
the Internet with my web browser.
Answer:
First, power of the Cable or DSL modem, the wireless router, and your computer. Move the router's
mode switch to the on position. Verify that the modem is connected to the wireless router with an
Ethernet cable to the WAN port. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the wireless
router and wait another minute. Power on the computer. Open a browser on the computer and
navigate to a familiar website to verify whether the Internet connection is functioning normally.
If after these steps, an Internet connection is still unavailable, power of the Cable or DSL modem
and computer again and directly connect your computer to the Cable or DSL modem with a cable
between the computer and the port on the modem. Power on the modem and wait one minute.
Power on the computer and again check for an Internet connection.
If an Internet connection IS NOT available with a direct connection to the computer, please call the
Internet Service Provider who installed the modem.
If an Internet connection IS available with a direct connection to the computer, please call our
customer support.
