Chapter 1 Product Overview

FeaturesSupports IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11b/gWith support for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B standards, the AirStation can transfer data to and from all standard 2.4 GHz wireless clients. (WHR-HP-GN is compatible with some Wireless-N features.)

Dual speed modeDual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 300Mbps for WHR-HP-G300N and 150Mbps for WHR-HP-GN data transmission.

Support AOSS and WPSBoth AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are supported. These automatic connection standards make connection with compatable wireless devices easier.

Security FeaturesThe AirStation is equipped with following security features:

•AOSS •WPS •WPA-PSK(TKIP/AES) •WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES) •WPA/WPA2mixedPSK •WEP(128/64bit) •PrivacySeparator •MACaddressaccessrestriction •DenyAnyConnection/SSIDstealthfeature •Settingscreenwithpassword •Firewallfeaturewitheasyrules

Automatic Channel SelectionMonitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel.

RoamingYou can use multiple AirStations to cover a large area. Wireless clients can automatically switch AirStations for the best signal.



InitializationTo restore settings back to the factory defaults, hold down the Reset button on the bottom of the unit.

Browser Based AdministrationThis unit can be easily configured from a web browser on your computer.

Auto Mode (Router/Bridge Automatic Recognition)Auto mode detects whether your network has a router or not and automatically switches to the appropriate router or bridge mode. You can also manually switch between modes. (See page 10).

Air Navigator CD RequirementsThe AirStation wireless router and access point works with most wired and wireless devices. The automaticinstallationprogramontheCDrequiresWindows7,VistaorXPtorun.ClientManagersoftwareisincludedforWindowsVistaandXP.Theuseofotheroperatingsystemsmayrequirethatthe AirStation be manually configured from a browser window.

300/150 Mbps High Speed Mode300 Mbps is the link speed of WHR-HP-G300N and 150 Mbps is for WHR-HP-GN when using Wireless-Nmode.Itrepresentsactualwirelessdataspeeds,includingoverhead.Becausetheoverhead is not available for user data transfer, usable wireless throughput will be substantially slower.

Parameter Meaning

WMM-EDCAParameters Youdon'tusuallyneedtochangethesesettings.Usingthedefaultsettings is recommended.

Priority The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission packets:(Highest)8,(High)4,(Normal)2,and(Low)1.Fromthequeue, these packets are processed in order of priority.

CWmin, CWmax Themaximumandminimumvalueofthecontentionwindow.

The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance structureperformedinIEEE802.11,andgenerallythesmallerthevalue in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send.

AIFSN Theintervaltosendframes.TheunitoftheAIFSNisaslot,justasthewindowdefinedbyCWminandCWmaxis.Thesmallertheinterval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As a result, the priority of the queue is higher.

TXOP Limit The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the

right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more frames can be sent per right to send. However, the que may interferewithotherpackettransmissions.IfTXOPLimitissetto0(zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send.

Admission Control Restricts new frames from interfering with a previous queue. New

packets are prioritized lower until a queue of them is collected. As the new queue accumulates more packets, its priority increases.
