Basic Setup Begin by finding a good place to set up your router/access point. Some things to consider: • You’ll need to be able to plug your internet connection into it, so it should go within reach of the LAN cable from your DSL or Cable modem.

Detecting Your Broadband Connection Your AirStation’s SmartRouter technology will determine the type of internet connection you have automatically, and ask you for any needed information. If your ISP assigns IPs automatically (most cable providers do), their DHCP server will give your router an IP address. If additional login information is required to connect to the internet, the wizard will ask for it. Enter any required login information if asked. Contact your DSL provider for any m

AOSS Notes Some things to keep in mind • Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be configured with the AOSS router at a time. The buttons will need to be re-pressed to connect each additional AOSS wireless client adapter. • It is not necessary to AOSS client devices that have already been configured via AOSS, unless significant changes have been made to the wireless network. • Do not attempt to configure two separate AOSS networks at the same time, as it may cause undesired configurat
