1. Introduction 
1.1. Welcome 
This AirStation wireless router comes with two different firmware 
packages. You may use either the dd-wrt-based Professional firmware or 
the simple User-friendly firmware. By default, the Professional 
firmware is preinstalled for US/EU products, and the User-friendly 
firmware is preinstalled for Asia-Pacific products. 
If you're using the user-friendly firmware, please click on the link 
on the left side. 
 
1.2. LED Specifications 
With exception of the router LED , the LED specifications are the same 
as User-friendly firmware. 
The router LED is off when no WAN connection is established. 
The router LED is ON when in router mode and WAN connection is 
established. 
Please refer to "User Manual for User-friendly Firmware" for details. 
 
1.3. Device Configuration 
From the factory, the router is configured as a network bridge. That 
means that all network interfaces can communicate with each other 
using this default bridge. The router is ready to use with a few 
simple adjustments. 
 
1.3.1. Factory 
Settings 
Because all interfaces are attached to the bridge by default, they all 
have the same IP configuration: 
 
IP address 
192.168.11.1 
Subnet Mask 
255.255.255.0 
DHCP server 
enabled 
DHCP-Range 
192.168.11.2 - 65 
 
The Wireless LAN interface is activated by default with an SSID 
generated from the device’s MAC address. For security, unused 
interfaces should be disabled. Wireless LAN interfaces that are not 
disabled should be configured with secure encryption (WPA2 or WPA is 
recommended) and a secure password. 
 
1.3.2. Initial 
Operation 
Connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet LAN cable and 
power the router on. It will take about 30 seconds to boot. You can 
then access it via telnet or web browser at the IP address 
192.168.11.1. The DHCP server in the router is enabled by default. If 
your PC’s Ethernet is configured for DHCP it should receive an IP 
address from the router’s DHCP server. If not, please configure the 
Ethernet interface with an address from the 192.168.11.x subnet.
