Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TEW-640MB and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless products range from 3-90 feet

(1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. 3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. 4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise. 14 Getting Start 1. Connect an Ethernet cable directly from the LAN port on your PC to the LAN port on the TEW-640MB . Note: Connect the TEW-640MB to the configuring computer. Do not connect the TEW-640MB to your network on the initial setup. 2. Plug in the power adapter and verify the Power & Ethernet LEDs are light. 15 3. Open your web browser and enter http://tew-640mb.trendnet/ or http://192.168.10.110/ into the address bar. 4. Enter default username and password admin and press OK. The below window will appear. 5. You could click left button to restore your saved configuration setting by importing the file, or press NEXT and follow Wizard to complete your setting. 6. Select the LAN connection type you would like to set on the TEW-640MB and click NEXT. 16 7. There are 2 options to configure the TEW-640MB, WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) or Manual setup. 8. If you choice Manual setup, please enter SSID of your wireless router of AP (Access Point) or press Scan to choose one. 9. The TEW-640MB will automatically detect your wireless encryption type.

If you have changed the default IP Address assigned to the TEW-640MB, make sure to enter the correct IP Address.

Enter admin in the User name and Password field.

Click OK. 21 Network LAN Setting LAN Connection Type Choose "Static IP (fixed IP)" if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the following fields. IP Address The IP address of the media bridge on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available from your network. For example, 192.168.10.110 Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. Default Gateway The IP address of the router on the local area network. 22 Wireless Profile Create a custom connection to a specific wireless network. Use this option to make custom profiles and store new profile for later use. Configure the setting to connect to a wireless network, selection option for network type, SSID, and wireless security. The profile can be edited, deleted and made active from this option. There are several ways to connect to your wireless network, go through the setup wizard, add a new profile or search using site survey feature. 23 When adding a Profile, please make sure your information matches your existing wireless network. Security Mode Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users. None No encryption. WEP (Open or Shared) A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange -

alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four 24 keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for use on the network. Key Length 64-bit 128-bit Hex 10 characters 26 characters ASCII 5 characters 13 characters WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters (AES or TKIP type) in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase.
