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.
Step 2 - Connecting Cables to the AirStation Ethernet cable to PC Ethernet cable to Cable/DSL modem AC power 1. Power down the Cable or DSL modem and the computer which will be used to configure the AirStation router. 2. Screw external antenna on to top of AirStation. 3. Plug the Cable or DSL’s LAN Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN port. Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or other router. 4.
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 3 - Configure your Computer’s IP Address For Windows 98SE/ME: • Right-click on Network Neighborhood or My Network Places and select Properties. • Select the Configuration tab, scroll down to TCP/IP and press Properties. • Select Obtain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS Server address automatically. • Click OK to close Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties. • Click OK to close Network Connection Properties. • Close Network Connections window.
Step 4 - Access the AirStation Configuration Pages Launch your Web browser, type 192.168.11.1 or 192.168.11.100 if in bridge mode, 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 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 aditional 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.
