Do you have a cable modem, or a DSL modem? If your ISP is a cable company, you probably
have everything you need to get started. If you have a DSL connection, make sure that you have
your PPPoE Login information available before you begin. You can get this information from your
DSL provider.
Getting Started
Attach the stand as shown if you’ll be using the AirStation in an
upright position. If the AirStation will be mounted horizontally, leave the
stand off.
Screw the antenna into the top of your AirStation. It will probably work
best if oriented to point straight up.

All equipment should now be powered off. Shut down your PC from within Windows by clicking
Start/Shutdown/OK. Then, disconnect the power cable from the back of the computer. Also,
unplug power from your cable or DSL modem. Don’t connect your AirStation’s power cable yet.
You will need to turn everything on in the right order later.
Find the main Ethernet cable from your cable or DSL modem. This the cable
that comes out of your cable or DSL modem and runs to the back of your PC. It
has a plug that looks like a oversized phone plug, but with more wires. Unplug
it from the back of your PC. Remember which port you took it out of!

4
Move the Ethernet cable from the back of your
PC to the WAN port on the AirStation. The
other end will still be connected to your cable
or DSL modem.
Now, connect another Ethernet cable (included
with your AirStation) between your PC and the
AirStation. Plug one end into the same port
that you removed the previous cable from on
the PC. Plug the other end into one of the four
LAN ports on the AirStation.
Reconnect Your Network Cables

5
Everything must be powered up in the right
order:
Power on the cable or DSL modem rst by
plugging its power cable back in. Give it at
least a minute to boot up. When nished
booting, most modems will light their “ready”
LED.
Connect the AC power connector to the power
port on the AirStation and to an AC surge
protector or other source of AC power. Give
the AirStation 60 seconds to boot. The “DIAG”
LED will stop blinking when it’s ready.
Finally, reconnect the PC’s power cable and
power it up. Let the PC boot completely to the
desktop.
Turn Everything On in Order

Automatic Configuration
Launch a web browser on your computer, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Your web
browser will automatically load a web page. EasySetup will attempt to congure all Internet
connection settings automatically. If you have a cablemodem, this will connect you to the
Internet in less than a minute.
If you have a DSL modem, PPPoE login information may be required to connect to the internet.
You can get this information from your DSL provider. EasySetup will prompt you for any
necessary information.
You can also enter PPPoE information manually. In the
browser window, enter 192.168.11.1 and press Enter.
A password prompt will open. Enter root as the User name
and leave the password eld blank.
Click the Advanced tab, then WAN Cong, then PPPoE.
Click Edit Connection List and enter any specic connection
information required by your Internet Service Provider. See the
User Manual on your AirNavigater CD for more information on
manually conguring your AirStation.

To connect a computer to your network wirelessly, click on
the Wireless icon in its systray (left of the clock).
A list of available wireless networks will appear. Select the
correct network and click Connect.
If you’re not sure which wireless network is yours, look on the
bottom of your AirStation. The network name is on a sticker
as shown.
Connect Your Wireless Clients
Once a PC is connected to the network wirelessly, you may disconnect its wired Ethernet cable if
desired.
