WCR - G300 Range Extender HELP....

[y2k]

Dear Techies,

 

I bought one of the WCR G300 Router/Range Extender. I noticed the setup guided us thru WPS to extend the wifi signal. The way I understood it works is that it amplifies the signal on the default AP SSID (Buffalo-xxxxxx) not the original Wifi Signal is that correct?

my question is

 

1. why the SSID that i have already customized put on the Airstation cannot be used once the Range Extender is setup? it goes back to the default SSID Buffalo-xxxxxx (unsecured wifi),

2. Can I add security instead of leaving it out there in unsecured?

3. What does "Seperate Feature" option means when I setup the SSID originally?

4. After it got setup it says the Airstation IP was changed to 192.168.11.100 but I cant access it after "range extender" setup. it gives out IP from my gateway modem/router (which is correct according to the function) and obviously my host router/dsl modem dont know where to route me to the Airstation because it has its own subnet. So How do i get back to the airstation config page? I have tried Wired/Wireless. Do  I need to set static IP perhaps with the 192.168.11.x subnet?

 

Thanks!

Whats the correct model number? There is no WCR G300

yes they do. on the box it says Airstation  N300 / WCR-G300, you can find the manual easily from their buffalo-asia.com and the box looks like this

Never seen or heard of that unit, its not sold in Europe or USA so you would be better off contacting your local support directly.
