A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet access, which requires a router. A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and Internet cameras. Modem Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service Provider). Router Connects multiple devices to the Internet. Switch Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an additional switch to add more wired connections. How to set up a home network 1. For a network that includes Internet access, youll need:
Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless networking capabilities. A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem typically supplied by your ISP). A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet. TEW-827DRU 2.

Leaving your wireless network open and unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your new router. There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware). It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.). In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for your network. Wireless Encryption Types WEP: Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11b/g hardware. This is the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11 b or 802.11g wireless adapters or computers with old embedded wireless cards(wireless clients), you may have to set your router to WEP to allow the old adapters to connect to the router. Note: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps. WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much of the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades) to support this encryption standard. Total wireless speeds under this encryption type however are limited to 54Mbps. WPA-Auto: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect wireless devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2 encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption. Copyright 2016 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved. TEW-827DRU Note: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit your connection speeds to 54Mbps WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto encryption. Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported. Below is brief comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network. Security Standard WEP WPA WPA2 IEEE 802.11a/b/g

However, using a short preamble is not supported using 802.11b legacy devices, in some cases cause wireless interoperability issues, and increase the error rate in some installations. The preamble is the info. sent from the wireless transmitter to the receiver indicating when data is incoming. Short Slot: Short Slot Override defines the amount of time a device waits after a data frame collision before retransmitting the data. Reducing the time from 20 microseconds (standard) to 9 microseconds can potentially increase throughput however, can also increase the error rate. 20/40 Coexistence (2.4GHz only): 20/40 MHz Coexistence allows for the auto-
fallback from 40MHz to 20MHz channel width operation when neighboring 802.11 wireless networks are detected. Guard Interval: Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. MCS Allows you to lock down the wireless transmission rate. Extension channel Allows you to assign either the upper or lower extension channels to use for channel bonding when establishing connectivity at the higher channel widths 40MHz and 80MHz. A-MPDU: Using Aggregate Multiple Protocol Data Unit will allow the all frames transmitted to be aggregated into larger size A-MPDU formatted frames before sending and receiving potentially increasing the overall throughput. MU-MIMO (5GHz only): Enables MU-MIMO functionality on your router to optimize downstream bandwidth for multiple concurrent wireless clients. Please note that wireless clients must also support MU-MIMO capability to utilize the functionality. TRENDnet Users Guide Advanced Settings Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Advanced These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance. Beacon Period: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about the routers wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each beacon transmission. Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 100-1000) DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255. Fragment Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units
(fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance. RTS Threshold: The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function. Default Value: 2347 (range: 1-2347) TX Power: This setting allows you to adjust the wireless transmit power to a lower setting. In busy wireless environments, lowering the transmit power may improve better performance and connectivity and decrease interference with neighboring wireless networks. Short Preamble: Using a short preamble can potentially increase throughput as the transfer time is 96 microseconds versus the more commonly used long Copyright 2016 TRENDnet.

Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors. If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers) from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower. If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices, installing additional access points or wireless extenders. TRENDnet Users Guide Steps to improve wireless connectivity There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them. a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your home, and near the ceiling, if possible. b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls. c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the better. d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and fluorescent lighting. e. Many environmental variables can affect the routers performance, so if your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal strength to determine the ideal position. 2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal. 3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless adapters site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices. Copyright 2016 TRENDnet.

Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature. Note: For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modems User Guide/Manual or contact your ISP. 1. Log into your router management page (see Access your router management page on page 10). 2.

A VPN provides secure communications typically over the Internet by creating a secure tunnel between two or more VPN routers (gateways) also known as a site-to-site VPN or between a single client computer and a VPN router (gateway) also known as a client-
server VPN. On your VPN router, only the following type of tunnel can be created:
Client-Server VPN A single client computer or device with VPN client software installed connects to a VPN router (gateway) allow the single client computer or device to securely communicate to the LAN network of the VPN router over the Internet. Tunneling methods supported by your router:
SSL VPN This type of VPN is most commonly used in Client-Server VPN applications. Most modern operating systems may already include a built-in client software however, your router uses an SSL VPN implementation developed by OpenVPN which will require the installation of the OpenVPN client software supports operating systems such as Windows XP and later (32-bit/64-bit) and Linux. One major benefit to using the SSL protocol for VPN is that most networks allow the SSL protocol to passthrough which eliminates the requirement for special rules or configuration such as PPTP/L2TP/IPsec. Important Note: For any tunneling or VPN method used, to avoid IP address conflict and to ensure connectivity, it is required that each end (LAN IP network or single client) of the VPN tunnel is configured with a different IP network or subnet.
