Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 150 Mbps data
transmission.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Air Navigator CD Requirements
The AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices.
However, the automatic installation program on the CD requires a connected Windows 7, Vista or
XP computer to run. If you use the AirStation with a dierent operating system, you will have to
congure your network settings manually from a browser window.
150 Mbps High Speed Mode
150 Mbps is the link speed when using Wireless-N mode. It represents actual wireless data speeds,
including overhead. Because the overhead is not available for user data transfer, usable wireless
throughput will be substantially slower.
Package Contents
The following items are included in your AirStation package. If any of the items are missing, please
contact your vender.

Chapter 3 - Installation
Automatic Setup
The AirNavigator CD can step you through installing your AirStation. To step through the setup
program, insert the CD into your Windows 7/Vista/XP PC and follow the instructions on the screen.
If your computer uses a dierent operating system, use manual setup instead.
Note: · To use a wireless client in Windows 7 or Vista, perform setup using the AirNavigator CD to automatically
generate a profile for wirelessly connecting to the AirStation. After setup is complete, once the LAN
cable is removed, you can connect from your wireless client to the AirStation.
· Before performing setup, make the settings to enable the wireless client of the computer.
Manual Setup
To congure your AirStation manually, follow the procedure below.
1Power o your computers and networking equipment.
2Connect your computer to one of the LAN ports on the rear of the AirStation with the
supplied Ethernet network cable.

Chapter 3 Installation
WBMR-HP-GNV2 User Manual 15
Connect your computer to one of the AirStation’s LAN ports with the LAN cable.
3Connection for the AirStation to the ADSL line varies by country and region. Typically it
involves a microlter or a microlter with built-in splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL
service and telephone service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps
carefully and select the appropriate method.
· If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line, ADSL microfilters are needed
for each telephone and device, such as answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional
splitters may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and Router.
Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the wall jack and the Router—this will prevent ADSL
service from reaching the modem.
· If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone line and you are using an ADSL
microfilter with built-in splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then,
connect the telephone cord from the ADSL microfilter RJ11 port generally labelled ‘DSL’ to the gray RJ11
port labelled ‘DSL line’ on the back of your Router. Connect the telephony device to the other port on the
ADSL splitter commonly labelled ‘Phone’.
Note: An RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks
into position correctly.
· If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord
from the wall jack to the DSL port on the back of the AirStation.
· If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an RJ45-to-RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then
connect one end of the telephone cord to the converter and the other end to the DSL port on the back of
the AirStation.
