Router/Access Point Mode

This AirStation supports quickly changing the product from a wireless router to a conventional access point.

Put your Airstation into Access Point Mode by moving the switch on the bottom of your AirStation from AUTO to BRI. This changes the default IP address of the AirStation from 192.168.11.1 to 192.168.11.100, and DHCP, NAT, and the WAN port are disabled.

Access Point Mode might be desirable if you’re adding wireless capability to an existing network with a router. It is not suitable for most home configurations. If you plan to use the AirStation as an normal wireless router, make sure that this switch is in the normal (AUTO) position!

To set up your AirStation as a bridge or repeater, turn to page 43.
