name) of the AirStation. You can find it on the bottom of the
AirStation.

default gateway address, DNS server address, or PPPoE
parameters, is necessary to access your internet connection.
Write down any necessary information that your ISP requires
for connection.
Getting Ready
Buffalo recommends using a wired network connection, where your computer is physically
connected to the AirStation with a CAT5 straight cable plugged into one of the four LAN
ports, to initially set up your router. This will avoid possible confi guration problems with
the wireless adapter on the computer being used to confi gure the AirStation.
The computer used to confi gure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address
automatically using a DHCP server. The WZR-G240 has a default LAN IP address of
192.168.11.1 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
