Plug the provided Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the AirStation and plug the other end into your computer Ethernet adapter ’s (NIC) port.
12 Buffalo recommends using a wired connection, meaning your computer is physically connected to the AirStation with a CA T5 straight cable plugged into one of the four LAN ports This type of setup will eliminate possible setup problems due to any issues with the wireless adapter on the computer being used to configure the AirStation.
13 The WYR-G54 has one internal omnidirectional antenna. The transmission of wireless signals is isotropic, meaning that the waves are emitted much like the sun distributes light in every direc- tion. However , connection problems can occasionally be remedied by simply adjusting the posi- tion of the antenna.

30 Remote Management - When enabled, remote management will allow you to confi gure your access point remotely over the Internet. A port should be speci- fi ed between the ranges of 1 and 65535. The management interface can then be accessed by your IP Ad- dress as shown and the port as in http://244.
31 Dynamic DNS is useful to allow your AirStation to respond to requests for a domain name such as www .yourname.com or mail.yourname.com. Due to the fact that many ISPs use DHCP rather than fi xed IP Addresses, hosting services like web servers, game servers, FTP servers or mail servers can be very challenging.
32 RIPv1 Routing - RIP dyanmic routing allows routing informa- tion to be shared with out ther routers using RIPv1 routing. This will allow easy sharing of information between multiple routers in regards to their own resources or stored entries within their routing tables.
33 Address T ranslation (NA T) PPPoE Bridging - If a device on the LAN Ports is capable of managing PPPoE client communications, enabling this option will allow the device the necessary direct, pass-through access to the W AN port .
34 In some situations, it is ben- efi cial to have a client network device designated as a catch- all, with all ports opened to enable better functionality with services like messaging or gaming.
