pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance
20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or

Installation Considerations
The TEW-640MB Gaming Adapter allows you to access your network by using a wireless
connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range. 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.

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

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.
![](/img.php?id=1383164&img=bg18.png)
24
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
![](/img.php?id=1383164&img=bg19.png)
25
keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for use
on the network.
Key Length Hex ASCII
64-bit 10 characters 5 characters
128-bit 26 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. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are
unique for each wireless client.

Use this setting to adjust the wireless environment.
Wireless Modes
2.4GHz 802.11b/g mixed mode
This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will allow both wireless b and
wireless g client to connect and access the TEW-640MB at 11Mbps for wireless b, 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.
2.4GHz 802.11 n only
This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of
wireless n client devices to connect and access the TEW-640MB. Although the wireless n
operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, this mode will only permit wireless n client devices to
work and will exclude any other wireless mode and devices that are not wireless n only.
2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n mixed mode
This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of
wireless g client devices to connect and access the TEW-640MB at 11Mbps for wireless b,
![](/img.php?id=1383164&img=bg1d.png)
29
54Mbps for wireless g and up to 150Mbps transmitting/300Mbps receiving for wireless n
and share access at the same time.
TX Rate
Select the desire transmitting rate on the adapter. For best performance, please leave the
selection on Auto.
HT Mode
Mixed Mode: In this mode packets are transmitted with a preamble compatible with the
legacy 802.11g/n, the rest of the packet has a new format. In this mode the receiver shall
be able to decode both the Mixed Mode packets and legacy packets.
Green Field: In this mode high throughput packets are transmitted without a legacy
compatible part.
Channel Bandwidth
Set channel width of wireless radio.
20 Channel Width = 20 MHz
20/40 Channel Width = 20/40 MHz (additional channel provides better performance)
Guard Interval
Support Short/Long GI, the purpose of the guard interval is to introduce immunity to
propagation delays, echoes and reflections, to which digital data is normally very
sensitive.
Long
Auto
Using “Auto” option can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some
installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that
works best for your installation.
MCS
Fix MCS rate for HT rate. (Auto, 0~32)
The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding
and number of spatial channels.
This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest possible transmission
rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary.
MPDU Aggregation
