ake note of the AirStation’s wired MAC address. The LAN

or Wired MAC address is the default SSID (wireless network

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

AirStation.

You may also wish to contact your ISP to ask if other information, such as global IP address,

subnet mask address, 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.
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 type of setup will eliminate possible setup problems with

the wireless adapter on the computer being used to configure the AirStation.

The computer used to configure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address automati-

cally using a DHCP server. The WHR-G54S has a default LAN IP address of 192.168.11.1

and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
