Deciding on a Mode for Initial AirStation 

Configuration

 

  Wired Connection (recommended)

 

  

Wireless Connection 

Do not connect the AirStation to your existing network 

Step

 

 

Connect your computer to the AirStation

Buffalo recommends using a wired connection, meaning your computer is physically 
connected  to  the 

AirStation

  with  a  CAT5  cable  plugged  into  any  one  of  the 

four 10/100M Ethernet LAN port.  This type of setup will eliminate possible setup 
problems due to any issues with the wireless adapter on the computer being used 
to configure the 

AirStation

A  Web  browser  version  4.5  or  later  should  be  used  to  configure  the

 

AirStation

Using the provided CAT5 Ethernet Cable, connect one end into any one of the 
four (4) 10/100M Ethernet ports on the AirStation and the other to your comput-
er’s available Ethernet port. Figure shown above.
