All Rights Reserved. 5 TRENDnet Users Guide Creating a Network What is a network?

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. 2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality. 3. Set up your router. See How to setup your router below. 4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network, see Connect additional wired devices to your network on page 11. 5. To set up wireless networking on your router, see Wireless Networking and Security on page 12. Copyright 2012 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved. TEW-715APO Wireless Performance Considerations There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. 1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 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. 5. 6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phones base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices. If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage depending on the environment. 6 TRENDnet Users Guide Getting Started For a typical wireless setup at home or office when using the access point in AP mode, please do the following:

Hardware Installation 1. Remove the bottom cap. TEW-715APO 4. Plug an Ethernet cable to the access point and plug the other end of the cable to the side of the PoE adapter marked PoE. 5. Take another Ethernet cable and plug it on the side of the PoE adapter marked LAN, plug the other end of the cable to your network. 2. Plug a Network cable to the Ethernet port. 6. Verify that the following LED indicators on the access point: Power (Solid Green), LAN

(Solid/Blinking Green) and WLAN (Blinking Green). 7. Open your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera) and go to http://192.168.10.100. The access point will prompt you for a password. 3. Slide the bottom cover back to the unit. 8. Enter the default user name and password and then click Login.

Copyright 2012 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved. TEW-715APO Connect wireless devices to your access point A variety of wireless network devices can connect to your wireless network such as:

Wireless Laptop computers Network media players Wireless IP cameras Smart Phones Gaming Consoles Internet enabled TVs Each device may have its own software utility for searching and connecting to available wireless networks, therefore, you must refer to the Users Manual/Guide of your wireless client device to determine how to search and connect to this routers wireless network. See the Appendix on page 53 for general information on connecting to a wireless network. 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. 8 TRENDnet Users Guide TEW-715APO 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. 4. 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. 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 or installing additional access points. Copyright 2012 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved.

making it easier for wireless clients to find the wireless network. o Enable: Access point will broadcast the your wireless network name (SSID), o Disable: Access point will not broadcast the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless clients will have to manually enter the wireless network to connect. 802.11 Mode: If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this Access Point can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate mode. o 802.11b/g mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will allow both wireless b and wireless g client to connect and access point, at 54Mbps for wireless g and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless n/g @ 54Mbps) to connect and access at the same time. o 802.11b/g/n mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless g client devices to TEW-715APO connect and access point, 54Mbps for wireless g and up to 300Mbps* for wireless n and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g/n operates in the same 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless b/g/n) to connect and access at the same time. HT protect: Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under 802.11n mode, wireless client can be divided into HT STA and Non-HT STA, among which the one with HT protect enabled gets higher throughput. Frequency (Channel): To manually set the channel on which the router will broadcast, uncheck Auto Channel, then click the drop-down list and select the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the Channel that is least used by neighboring wireless networks. Extension channel: When 20/40 channel bandwidth has been chosen, you should select extension channel to get higher throughput. Channel Mode: Four levels are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. The last one can enhance data throughput, but it takes more bandwidth, thus it might cause potential interference. Antenna: By default, IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless CPE uses its built-in antenna for directional transmission; however, if you prefer to use an external antenna for your case-dependent applications, you can switch from Internal (8 dBi) to External (N-Type). When External (N-Type) is selected, an Antenna Gain bar will appear to allow you specify the gain of the external antenna. The antenna gain calculates the TX power back off needed to remain in compliance with regulations. Please refer to External Antenna installation on page 49. o You are able to choose External (N-Type) only when you have well done installing the external antenna; otherwise, it might damage IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless CPE itself. order to comply with the local regulation. o The maximum output power will vary depending on the country selected in o The output power here is counted from the RF single chain only not including Maximum Output power: Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the wider the signal can cover, but the power consumption will be greater accordingly. the 8dBi internal antenna. Data Rate: Usually Auto is preferred. Under this rate, the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless CPE will automatically select the highest available rate to transmit. In some cases, however, like where there is no great demand for speed, you can have a relatively-low transmit rate for compromise of a long distance. Copyright 2012 TRENDnet.

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 Copyright 2012 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved. TEW-715APO 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. 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.

Advance Settings Change your IP address Basic Setting > Primary Setup In most cases, you do not need to change the access points IP address settings. Typically, the access point IP address settings only needs to be changed, if you plan to use another access point in your network with the same IP address settings, if you are connecting the access point to an existing network that is already using the IP address settings your access point is using. In addition, the access point can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device on your network. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or if you do not want to use the access point as a DHCP server, you can disable this setting. This setting would be used when the access points System settings is set to Router mode. Note: If you are not encountering any issues or are not faced with one of the cases described above or similar, it is recommended to keep your router IP address settings as default. Note: For VPN (Virtual Private Network) configuration, it is required that each router should have a different router or LAN IP address/network on each end of the VPN tunnel.

A-MPDU/A-MSDU aggregation: The data rate of your AP except wireless client mode could be enhanced greatly with this option enabled; however, if your wireless clients dont support A-MPDU/A-MSDU aggregation, it is not recommended to enable it. Short GI: Under 802.11n mode, enable it to obtain better data rate if there is no negative compatibility issue. RTS Threshold: The IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless CPE sends RTS (Request to Send) frames to certain receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, that STA responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) frame to acknowledge the right to start transmission. The setting range is 0 to 2346 in byte. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is recommended. 35 TRENDnet Users Guide Fragment Threshold: Specify the maximum size in byte for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is recommended. Beacon Interval: Specify the frequency interval to broadcast packets. Enter a value between 20 and 1024. DTIM Interval: DTIM, which stands for Delivery Traffic Indication Message, is contained in the data packets.

By enabling IGMP snooping, the AP will listen to IGMP membership reports, queries and leave messages to identify the ports that are members of multicast groups. Multicast traffic will only be forwarded to ports identified as members of the specific multicast group or groups. RIFS: RIFS (Reduced Interframe Spacing) is a means of reducing overhead and thereby increasing network efficiency. Link Integration: Available under AP/Bridge/AP repeater mode, it monitors the connection on the Ethernet port by checking Enabled. It can inform the associating wireless clients as soon as the disconnection occurs. TDM Coordination: Stands for Time-Division Multiplexing Technique, this resource reservation control mechanisms can avoid packet collisions and send the packets much more efficiently allowing for higher effective throughput rates. This function is only available in AP/CPE mode. It is highly recommended to enable TDM coordination when there are multiple CPEs needed to connect to the AP in your application. Space in Meter: To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distance, the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless CPE can automatically adjust proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of the two nodes. Traffic Shaping: Allows the administrator to specify the incoming and outgoing traffic limit by checking Enable Traffic Shaping. This is only available in Router mode. Copyright 2012 TRENDnet.
