Step 1 - Gathering Information Depending on the type of broadband internet service you are subscribed to, different pieces of information may be needed to complete the setup. In particular, most DSL providers require PPPoE information to log in to your connection. Call your internet service provider’s customer or technical support number to ﬁnd if any special information is required for you to connect to the internet. Note your AirStation’s LAN MAC address.

Notes on Wireless Conﬁguration: If you have a PC connected to the router with a wired connection, we recommend that you use it to conﬁgure your AirStation. That said, if necessary, you can still conﬁgure your AirStation with a wireless connection. Consult your wireless client card or adapter’s documentation to conﬁrm that it’s correctly installed with all necessary drivers. Does your client support AOSS? If so, conﬁguration is very simple.

Step 4 - Access the AirStation Conﬁguration Pages Launch your Web browser, type 192.168.11.1 in its address ﬁeld, and click Go. Of course, if you’ve changed your AirStation’s LAN IP address, enter the new LAN IP address instead. If at any time you wish to restore settings to factory defaults, press the red INIT button on the bottom of the AirStation for 15 seconds. Do not let go of the INIT button until the red DIAG lights up or ﬂashes. The restore process can take up to two minutes.

The WHR-HP-G54 will automatically detect whether your internet is from a DSL or Cable provider and ask you for any necessary information. • DSL If you have a DSL connection, you will probably have to enter your PPPoE login information. Get this information from your ISP if you don’t know it. • Cable Most Cable providers require no additional settings to obtain an IP address. If your connection requires a DNS server to be set up manually, a wizard will ask you for the necessary information.

The AirStation can be reconﬁgured anytime via a Web browser using a wired or wireless connection by entering 192.168.11.1 (or the new IP address, if you’ve changed it) in the URL address ﬁeld of the Web browser and pressing the Enter key on the keyboard. Additional Information: AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) The WHR-HP-G54 supports Buffalo’s AOSS system for connecting AOSS compatible wireless clients to the WHR-HP-G54.
