Buffalo Technology AIRSTATION WBR-G54 User Manual

Setting up the AirStation parameters us-
ing Buffalo’s utility tool, Client Manager, 
requires basic wireless confi guration 
knowledge.  Setup includes manual wire-
less confi guration and basic administra-
tive management. 
For explanation of each parameter and 
its use, see Chapter 4.  

Make note of the WBR-G54’s wired MAC 
address (found on the back of the WBR-
G54).  It is also recommended you record 
any other broadband access information 
such as global IP address, subnet mask 
address, default gateway address, DNS 
server address and PPPoE parameters. 

The WBR-G54 CD contains the Client 
Manager program.  The Client Manager is 
used for setting up and confi guring the 
access point and for monitoring the wire-
less signal between the AP and client.  
Specialized setups for security, fi ltering 
and other features will be explained in 
later sections.

dress of 192.168.11.1 and Subnet Mask
