6 4. Introduction TRAVEL ROUTER is the world’s smallest 11n Wireless Router and Access Point with 3G connectivity that brings superior convenience for users who need to create a wireless network to share the Internet, documents or multimedia files quickly between computers at speeds of up to 300Mbps. Also, you can leave the bulky power adapter behind as the power supply unit is embedded in the device, so it can be slipped into your pocket easily. The TRAVEL ROUTER can be connected to the Internet through a DSL/Cable modem or 3G USB card at any available location. It can even share the connection in your hotel’s room if a RJ45 network cable is used. To ensure your data is secure, the TRAVEL ROUTER supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) for simple and easy setup of WPA2 encryption of the wireless signal.

10 7. Before you Begin This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the TRAVEL ROUTER is very important to avoid poor signal reception and performance. Avoid placing the device in enclosed spaces such as a closet, cabinet or wardrobe. 6.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the environment that the device is deployed. These could be the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to ensure that you have the optimal wireless range. 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the EnGenius access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, the degradation depends on the building’s material. 2. Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on range. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a drywall or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets and brick will also degrade your wireless signal. 3. Interferences can also come from your other electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. The most usual types are microwaves, or cordless phones.
11 6.2 AP Router / AP / Client Bridge Modes There are three main modes to select from which will influence the installation of the TRAVEL ROUTER. This section will help you determine which mode works with your setup. AP Router Mode AP Router Mode allows you to share an Internet connection to multiple computers. AP Mode AP mode allows you to have a wired or wireless router. Client Bridge Mode Client Bridge Mode allows a wired network device to connect to your wireless network, or create a point-to-point bridge. Change mode from the top right of the User Interface.
