What About Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of
responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a reasonably secure
system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance the
system’s security:

Keep the operating system of the computer updated with the latest security patches.
Run the system update utility at least weekly.

Keep the email program updated with the latest security patches. In addition, avoid
opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent through chat rooms,
whenever possible.

Install a virus checker and keep it updated.

Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over the Wireless Router. Besides certain
vulnerability problems, most service providers prohibit running servers on consumerlevel accounts and may suspend your account for violating the terms of service.

Use the service provider's mail servers for sending email.

Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other
Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Criminals can take advantage of
open proxies to hide their identity when breaking into other computers or sending
spam. If you have an open proxy, your service provider may suspend your account to
protect the rest of the network.

The TR3300-AC ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons
that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on the product for the
factory security settings. If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see
Configuring the Wireless Connection (page 18).

Router:
Release 33 STANDARD 1.5 February 2015
TR3300-AC 802.11ac Wireless Router User Guide 15
Chapter 4: Installing the Wireless Router

Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and
should be close enough to the Wireless Router that extension cords are not required.

Is the modem nearby? Can you easily run cables between the Wireless Router’s location
and the modem?

If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run cables between
the Wireless Router’s location and those devices?

If you want to install the Wireless Router on a desktop, is there enough space on either
side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause overheating.

How close are the wireless devices? In general, the Wireless Router should be located
close to the center of the user sphere. The Wireless Router wireless connection range is
typically 100–200 feet (30m–65m) for 2.4 GHz signals and less for 5 GHz signals. A
number of factors can affect connection range, as described below.
Desktop Mounting Instructions
Position the Wireless Router so that:

air flows freely around it

the back faces the nearest wall

it will not fall to the floor if bumped or moved

the sides of the unit are not blocked.
Note: Clean the Wireless Router using only a clean, slightly moistened, cloth. Do not use
aerosols in the vicinity of the Wireless Router.
Factors Affecting Wireless Range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Increases range


Decreases range
Locating the unit centrally
Creating as much "line-of-sight" as possible with client devices
Metal or concrete walls between the Wireless Router and other
devices
 Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the
Wireless Router and other devices
 Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave
ovens, wireless speaker/receiver systems, or other wireless
networks)
 Placing the device in a cabinet or other enclosed space

Note: Decreasing the range of the wireless network may be beneficial, as long as the
decreased range is sufficient for your needs. By limiting the network’s range, you reduce
interference with other networks and make it harder for unwanted users to find and connect to the
network.

TR3300-AC 802.11ac Wireless Router User Guide 16
Chapter 4: Installing the Wireless Router
Note: Setting the transmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it to Medium or
Low decreases the range proportionately. Medium or Low may be more appropriate for highdensity residential locations.
Ethernet or Wireless?
There are two ways to connect the computer (or other equipment) to the Wireless Router.
The following will help you decide which is best for you:
Ethernet
Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local Area
Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if the computer has built-in Ethernet
hardware. The TR3300-AC provides support for up to four such connected devices.
Note: To connect more than four computers to the TR3300-AC through the Ethernet ports,
you need an Ethernet switch (available at computer retailers).
The Wireless Router package comes with one 4-foot (1.2m) Ethernet cable (the connectors
look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if necessary at a
computer retailer. If you are connecting the Wireless Router directly to a computer, or to
an Ethernet switch with a cross-over switch, ask for Category 5e (CAT5e) straight-through
cable. CAT5e cable is required for gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable.
Wireless
Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to the Wireless
Router. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to access the
TR3300-AC using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to the
connections supported via Ethernet.
Note: You can use the wireless connection if the computer has a built-in or aftermarket
plug-in wireless adapter. To learn more about which wireless hardware works best with the
computer, see your computer dealer.
Both
If you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and
wireless for the others. To connect five or more computers to the Ethernet ports, you will
need an Ethernet switch (available at computer retailers.)

Wireless Router in the following areas:

LAN Setup

Wireless Setup

Firewall

Utilities
Note: Refer to Wireless Router Configuration Screen Descriptions (page 29) for additional
advanced configuration options.
LAN Setup – Configuring DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Protocol Configuration) is enabled by default on the Wireless
Router which allows the Wireless Router to act as a DHCP server and automatically assign
an IP address to each device on the network.
DHCP is a set of rules used by devices such as a computer, Wireless Router, or network
adapter to allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a server which
maintains a list of addresses available for use. The DHCP server ensures that all IP
addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address is assigned to a second device while the first
device's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired).
Without DHCP, the IP addresses must be entered manually at each computer or device and
a new IP address must be entered each time it moves to a new location on the network.
Perform the following steps to configure DHCP.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the LAN Setup tab.
3. Click LAN Settings or LAN Settings (IPV6) in the side menu to display the LAN
Settings screen.
4. Click the Enable DHCP Server or Enable DHCP Server (IPV6) checkbox under
DHCP Server Settings.
5. Enter the Start IP Address and End IP Address for the range of IP addresses that the
DHCP Server will be allowed to assign to a network device.
6. Enter the Lease Time in seconds before the assigned IP address will expire. (After the
lease time is up, the user is automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address.)
Note: Refer to LAN Setup (page 35) for specific instructions on setting the various DHCP
configuration parameters.

LAN Setup – Selecting the NAT Mode
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows the Wireless Router to manipulate IP
addresses so that just one single IP address can represent an entire group of computers on
the network and let them all communicate with the Internet. This conserves IP addresses
and is necessary since there are a limited number of available IP addresses for use.
Perform the following steps to select the NAT Mode.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the LAN Setup tab.
3. Click LAN Settings in the side menu to display the LAN Settings screen.

Without DHCP, the IP addresses must be entered manually at each computer in an
organization, and a new IP address must be entered each time a computer moves to a new
location on the network.
Start IP Address (IPV6)/End IP Address (IPV6) – Enter the range of IPV6 addresses that
the DHCP Server will be allowed to assign to a network device.
Lease Time V6 – Enter the lease time in seconds before the assigned IPV6 address will
expire. (After the lease time is up, the user is automatically assigned a new dynamic IP
address.)
A "lease" is the amount of time that a given IP address will be valid for a computer or other
network device. The lease time can vary depending on how long a user is likely to require
the Internet connection at a particular location. Using very short leases, DHCP can
dynamically reconfigure networks where there are more computers than available IP
addresses, such as educational environments.

Wireless 2.4 GHz/Wireless 5 GHz:
Enable Wireless – Click this checkbox to enable the wireless network on the system.
Channel – Sets a communications channel for the Wireless Router. The default setting is
"Auto", in which the Wireless Router selects a channel with the least amount of
interference to use. For 2.4 GHz, if you manually select a channel, it’s best to choose
channel 1, 6, or 11, since these channels do not overlap. If another unit is operating in the
area, choose a channel that is farthest away from the channel that unit uses. For example,
if one is using channel 11, set yours to channel 1. For 5 GHz choose a channel that is
farthest away from the channel used by any other unit operating in the area. If you
experience interference or poor performance on a particular channel, try a different
channel.
Wireless Network Name (SSID) – Enter a user friendly name to identify the wireless
network. This name is also referred to as the Service Set Identifier (SSID). The name can
be up to 32 characters long.
Wireless Mode – Sets the wireless mode. 2.4 GHz Options are: B/G mixed, B only, G only,
and G/N mixed. 5 GHz Options are: A only, A/N mixed, and A/N/AC mixed. Select the
proper mode to support all of the wireless devices that will connect to the Wireless Router.
(802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mb/s. 802.11g supports bandwidth up to 54 Mb/s.

Channel Bandwidth – Sets the 802.11n Channel Bandwidth. Options are 20 MHz, 40MHz,
20/40 MHz, or 80MHz (5 GHz only). The default setting is 20/40 MHz.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID) – Click this checkbox to allow the SSID to be broadcast
by the Wireless Router. If enabled, the SSID could be obtained allowing unauthorized
access to the network. If you would like others not to see the access point, uncheck the
checkbox to hide the SSID.
AP Isolation – Click this checkbox to enable AP isolation. When enabled each of the
wireless clients will be in its own virtual network and will not be able to communicate with
one another. This may be useful if you have many guests using the network.
Enable WMM – Click this checkbox to enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) functionality.
Enabling WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting multimedia content
over a wireless connection. Disabling WMM will reduce wireless performance in 802.11n
mode.
This quality of service mechanism uses four access categories, which in order of priority
are: voice, video, best effort, and background. This ensures that applications with low
tolerance for latency and jitter are treated with higher priority than less-sensitive data
applications. WMM sets different wait times for the four categories in order to provide
priority network access for applications that are less tolerant of packet delays.
Security Mode – Sets the security mode for the Wireless Router. Can be set to
WPA/WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access/ Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key)
(most compatible); WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key)

Advanced
The Advanced Settings page is used to set up the Wireless Router’s advanced wireless
functions. These settings should only be adjusted by an expert administrator since
incorrect settings can reduce wireless performance. For changes to take effect, you must
click Apply.
Wireless 2.4 GHz/Wireless 5 GHz:
Beacon Interval – Sets the time interval between beacon transmissions in milliseconds.
The Wireless Router uses these transmissions to synchronize the wireless network and its
client devices. For compliance with most client devices, the Beacon Interval should remain
set at the default of 100ms. The allowable setting range is from 20 to 1024ms.
DTIM Interval – Sets the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval. The DTIM
Interval informs the wireless client devices of the next available window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the Wireless Router sends a DTIM beacon, the
client devices hear the beacon and then listen for the messages. For compliance with most
client devices, the DTIM Interval should be left at 1 ms. The allowable setting range is
from 1 to 255 ms.
RTS Threshold – Sets the packet size limit. When the threshold is passed, the ready to
send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) function is invoked. The default setting is 2347 bytes. The
allowable setting range is from 1 to 2347 bytes.

Troubleshooting
The Wireless Router is plugged in, but the Power light is Off
Check all power connections. Is the power cord plugged in firmly at both ends?
If you plugged the power cord into a power strip, make sure the strip is switched on.
Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible.
Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
I'm not getting on the Internet (all connections)
It may take several minutes to establish a connection the first time you power up the
Wireless Router, especially when many people are online. Always leave the Wireless
Router plugged into AC power and connected to the modem.
Check the front panel lights:

The Power and WAN lights should be on.

If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your service provider for
assistance.
Check the cable connections. Connectors should be tight. Cables should not be pinched,
kinked, or bent sharply—any of these can cause a break or short in the cable (you may have
to replace the cable).
Proceed to the Ethernet or wireless solutions if necessary.
I'm not getting on the Internet (Ethernet)
If you are using a switch, is the switch turned on?
Are you using the right type of Ethernet cable? Use an RJ45 Cat5e cable for direct
connection to a computer; use a cross-over cable for connection to a switch.
Press the Reset button on the back of the Wireless Router.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the Wireless Router. If you think this has
happened, see Resetting the Wireless Router to Factory Defaults.
I'm not getting on the Internet (Wireless)
Check the indicator lights, see Using the Wireless Router — the Wi-Fi light should be on.
Does the connection utility discover your wireless LAN? If you turned off “Broadcast SSID”
you need to manually enter the name of the wireless LAN in the connection utility.

Change the security mode to “disabled”. Enable one of the other security modes as soon as
you find the problem.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the Wireless Router. If you think this has
happened, see Resetting the Wireless Router to Factory Defaults.
My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes
This is usually caused by interference. Two common sources are 2.4GHz “remote”
telephones and microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the interfering product, try using a
different channel.
I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow
If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trouble servicing all
the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few minutes and try again. Usage
during peak hours may also affect the connection speed.
Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connections, may slow
down the connection.
