25
Sets a channel (a range of frequencies) for wireless connections. When “Auto Channel” is
Wireless Channel
selected, the AirStation will automatically use the best available channel.
High speed mode uses 40 MHz bands instead of regular 20 MHz bands. In uncongested
High Speed Mode areas this can increase performance. To use high speed mode, set the bandwidth to 40
MHz.
If Allow is checked, then the AirStation will respond to SSID searches from wireless
Broadcast SSID devices by broadcasting its SSID. If Allow is unchecked, then the AirStation ignores SSID
searches from wireless devices.
SSID1 can use no authentication, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK
SSID 1
for wireless security.
SSID 2 SSID2 can use WEP for wireless security.
When enabled, wireless devices connected to the AirStation can communicate only with
SSID Isolation
the Internet side, not with each other.
SSID The SSID may use 1 - 32 alphanumeric characters.
Authentication Specifies the authentication method used when connecting to a wireless device.
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
Encryption 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.
AES
AES is very secure encryption method that is recommended for most users. Use a pre-
shared key to communicate with a wireless device. AES can be selected when WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK is selected for wireless authentication.
A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless connections. There are
WPA-PSK (Pre-shared two different formats for a pre-shared key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-
Key) sensitive) for an ASCII passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f,
not case-sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase.
Key Renewal Interval Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440 (minutes).
A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may use four different formats. An ASCII passphrase
Set Up WEP Encryption may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). A hexadecimal
Key passphrase may use either 10 or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case-
sensitive).
26
Advanced
Configure advanced wireless settings here.
27
WMM
Set priorities for specific communications here.
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 IEEE 802.11, and generally, the smaller
the value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send.
WMM-EDCA
Parameters AIFSN
The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as the window defined 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.
28
MAC Filter
MAC filtering lets you restrict access to your network. Only specific wireless devices will be able to connect.

Other Tips
Issue:
I reset my AirStation to factory default settings and forgot how to log in to Settings.
Answer:
Open your browser, enter 192.168.11.1 as the browser address, and hit the enter key. You will be prompted to log in.
Enter “admin” for the username and “password” for the password. Click OK to log in.
Issue:
How do I forward ports on my AirStation for my gaming console?
Answer:
Log in to Settings and navigate to Setup - Internet Games (Port Forwarding). 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 my AirStation?
Answer:
Log in to Settings and navigate to Setup - Wireless Encryption. Buffalo recommends the use of WPA2-PSK AES for wireless
encryption. The passphrase/key should be at least 8 characters in length.
Issue:
How do I change my AirStation’s broadcasted network name (SSID)?
Answer:
Log in to Settings and navigate to Wireless - Basic. Find the SSID setting. Select Use and enter the new name for your
network. Click Apply. Once the AirStation 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 cause this. First, ensure the issue is not range related by moving the
AirStation and the client device closer together. If the connection drops continue, then range is probably not the issue.
Other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwaves, other wireless networks, and 2.4 GHz wireless phones may impact
performance. Try a different wireless channel for your AirStation. Log in to Settings and navigate to Basic Wireless
Setup on Setup page. Wireless channels from 1 - 11 may be selected. Try “Auto Channel” option if available. Otherwise,
manually select an alternate channel and click Apply.
Issue:
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my AirStation, I am unable to access the Internet with my web
browser.
Answer:
First, switch the AirStation to router mode. The router LED on the AirStation turns on, and after about one minute, turn
off the cable or DSL modem, AirStation, and your computer. Verify that the modem is connected to the Internet port
on the AirStation with a Ethernet cable. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the AirStation 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 an Internet connection is still not available after these steps, power off 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 check again for an Internet
connection.
