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.

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.

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.
