2.3.1. Setup 
2.3.1.1. Basic 
Configuration 
Setup Assistant 
The setup assistant provides a step-by-step interface for basic router 
configuration. This configures most common settings automatically. 
 
WAN Setup 
Here you’ll find the most important settings to configure your 
internet access and WAN port. DHCP is enabled by default, but you can 
also use PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, static IP, or HeartBeat Signal. If you 
don’t use a password to log in to your ISP, you may need to enter 
“0000” for the password. Also, for some ISPs you should not enter the 
service name, as it will prevent establishing the connection. If you 
experience connection problems, then leave the service name empty.  
 
WAN Connection Type 
Description 
Disabled 
The WAN port is disabled. 
Static IP 
A static IP address will be used – enter the 
IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and server 
manually. 
Automatic 
Configuration - DHCP 
The router obtains its WAN-side IP address 
from a DHCP server. 
PPPoE 
Configure as PPPoE-client.  For VDSL, check 
the “VDSL-Tagging“ box.  
PPTP 
Establishes connection via PPTP. 
L2TP 
Establishes connection via L2TP. 
HeartBeat Signal 
If you use a HeartBeat connection, consult 
your ISP for setup information.  HeartBeat 
Signal is used only in Australia.   
3G/UMTS 
Configures Internet Access via 3G/UMTS. 
Enable USB in the “Services” section and 
attach a 3g/UMTS USB stick to the router. 
This setting is available in AirStations sold 
in the European region only. 
 
 
Network Setup 
Network Setup configures the router’s basic settings to match the 
local network. By default these settings are valid for all network 
ports except the WAN because they are all attached to the default 
bridge. If ports are disassociated from the bridge they will have 
different settings. 
 
 
 
2.3.1.2.
  Dynamic DNS (DynDNS or DDNS) 
Dynamic DNS allows the assignment of a DNS record to a dynamically 
assigned WAN-side IP address. A DynDNS client updates DNS records when 
your WAN-side IP address changes.
