Our Technology - Client Manager 3
Client Manager 3 (CM3) is Buffalo Technology's wireless configuration software. It is shipped with all Buffalo Technology wireless client adapters for the PC. The software lets you connect your wireless client to a wireless router or access point as well as to other client devices (ad-hoc). It offers many advanced settings such as 802.1x authentication, WPA support, default printer settings, proxy settings, IP address settings, and many other settings not found in most client managers.
Client Manager 3 enables Secure Setup for Wireless Adapters with One Click and One Touch
Client Manager 3 is also a critical part of Buffalo's push button, automated setup technology, AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure Setup). AOSS allows a user to connect wireless clients to an AOSS wireless router or access point with just a push of the button. AOSS manages security automatically, setting up the best encryption possible while maintaining client compatibility.
Compatibility with other manufacturer's Wireless Adapters
Unlike Client Manager 2, Client Manager 3 now works with most* wireless client adapters from any manufacturer. This includes add-on wireless cards from any* manufacturer including embedded notebook wireless technologies like Centrino and other built-in wireless connections.
Client Manager 3 works on PCs running Windows XP, 2000, WinME, or later. Your wireless card or built-in wireless client should be already installed before installing CM3. If you're installing a new wireless card in your PC, complete the installation of the card and all drivers before installing CM3. Disable any other wireless client managers before installing or using CM3. Only use one wireless client manager at a time!
NOTE: Buffalo Technology offers technical support for Buffalo Technology products only. Client Manager 3 may be used to manage wireless clients made by many different manufacturers. Due to the varying configurations of other manufacturer's devices, please contact the manufacturer of a non-Buffalo wireless device for support.
* most/any: Buffalo Technology does not guarantee compatibility with all cards, but based on our testing it works with majority of devices available on the market today. Please check back for a database of tested cards; we will update the list frequently.
