Connecting Wireless Clients to your Network
Buffalo supports three different methods for
connecting client devices like the WLI-PCI-
G300N to your wireless network:
Buffalo Client Manager - Install Buffalo’s
Client Manager software to survey and
connect to any supported wireless
networks. Client Manager allows for
detailed profiles to be configured for each
connection. Please see page 8 for Client
Manager installation instructions.
AOSS - Buffalo’s pushbutton wireless setup
technology allows for easy, secure connection to any AOSS compatable Router or
AP. You will need to install Client Manager to use AOSS; please see page 8. After
installation, please see page 11 for instructions on using AOSS.
Windows XP Wireless Zero Config - Windows XP’s built in wireless configuration
utility. This requires no additional software but doesn’t offer detailed profiles or
AOSS. NOTE: Zero Config is only available on Windows XP. Please see page 21 for
Zero Config instructions.

Client Manager can be used to survey and connect to available access points, configure
WPA/WEP encryption, and create connection profiles. It also lets you use AOSS.
Note: When Client Manager is installed, Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration is
automatically disabled.

ROM drive of you computer. If the Air
Navigator Setup Wizard does not launch
