With both a wired LAN router and a 811g wireless access point, the AirStation WHR-G125 Cable/DSL Router is perfect for linking your wireless devices with a wired network and each other. System Requirements • A high-speed (Broadband) Internet connection or existing local area connection. • A computer with a network connection (wired or wireless) and a good web browser. The screenshots in this manual were taken with Firefox, but Netscape and Internet Explorer are also supported in versions 4.5 or later, and Safari 1.0 and later are supported with Macintosh OS X 10.2 and later. AirStation WHR-G125 Package Contents • WHR-G125 Wireless Router • AC adapter and power cable • CAT5 LAN cable • Utility CD with Manual • Quick Setup Guides • Warranty Statement Initial Setup Begin by finding a good place to set up your router/access point. Some things to consider: • You’ll need to be able to plug your internet connection into it, so it should go within reach of the LAN cable from your DSL or Cable modem. You’ll also want a power outlet nearby. • Keep the access point as central in your work area as possible. Signal strength and speed fall off with distance. • Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a bookcase rather than the bottom one, if possible. • The antenna usually works best if oriented to point straight up. Do you need a password or other information to log in to your internet connection? Many DSL connections require information like global IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, DNS server address, or PPPoE parameters in order to connect. Cable modems usually don’t require extra information. If you have a DSL internet connection, make sure that you have any necessary information handy before you continue. Your Internet Service Provider can give you this information if you don’t know it.

Insert the CD in the drive of your computer and follow the directions. The installation program will step you through connecting your computer to the AirStation and the Internet. Manual Configuration Manual Configuration To configure your router manually, use a wired connection to your computer. Once you’ve connected to the internet through the router, you may switch to a wireless connection if desired. The computer used to configure the AirStation should be set to obtain an IP address automatically using a DHCP server (this is Windows’ default). The WHR-G125 has a default LAN IP address of 192.168.11.1 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. 1. Power down the Cable or DSL modem and the computer which will be used to configure the AirStation router. 2. Plug the Cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable into the AirStation’s WAN port. Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or other router. 3. Plug the provided Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the AirStation and plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet adapter (NIC). 4. Important: turn everything on in the correct order!! Power on your cable or DSL modem and wait one full minute, then power on the AirStation router and wait one full minute, and finally power on the computer which will be used to configur...
