Introduction TRAVEL ROUTER is the world’s smallest 11n Wireless Router and Access Point 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 150Mbps. 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 at any available location. It can even share the connection in your hotel’s room if a RJ-45 network cable is used. To ensure your data is secure, the TRAVEL ROUTER supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) for simple and easy setup of WPA2 encryption of the wireless signal. 6 4.

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 predetermined 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. 10 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 establish a network with the Access Point. It does not have NAT function and the ability connecting to internet. 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 modes from the top-right of the User Interface. Please see Configuring the TRAVEL ROUTER for instructions to access the Web-Based User Interface. 11 6.3 Computer Settings (Windows XP/Vista) 1. Click Start button and open Control Panel. Windows XP Windows Vista 12 2. Windows XP, click [Network Connection] Windows Vista, click [View Network Status and Tasks] then [Manage Network Connections] 3. Right click on [Local Area Connection] and select [Properties]. 13 4. Check “Client for Microsoft Networks”, “File and Printer Sharing”, and “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is ticked. If not, please install them. 5. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click [Properties] 6.

Status This page shows the current status of the device’s Wireless settings. 64 Basic Radio: Enable or Disable the device’s wireless signal. Mode: Select between Access Point or Wireless Distribution System (WDS) modes. Band: Select the types of wireless clients that the device will accept. eg: 2.4 GHz (B+G) Only 802.11b and 11g clients will be allowed. Enable SSID#: Select the number of SSID’s (Wireless Network names) you would like. You can create up to 4 separate wireless networks. SSID# Enter the name of your wireless network. You can use up to 32 characters. Auto Channel: When enabled, the device will scan the wireless signals around your area and select the channel with the least interference. Check Channel Time: When Auto Channel is Enabled, you can specify the period of the device will scan the wireless signals around your area. 65 Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Using WDS to connect Access Point wirelessly, and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement. Note that compatibility between different brands and models is not guaranteed. It is recommended that the WDS network be created using the same models for maximum compatibility. Also note that all Access Points in the WDS network needs to use the same Channel and Security settings. To create a WDS network, please enter the MAC addresses of the Access Points that you want included in the WDS. There can be a maximum of four access points. 66 Advanced This page allows you to configure wireless advance settings. It is recommended the default settings are used unless the user has experience with these functions. 67 Advanced Fragment Threshold: Specifies the size of the packet per fragment. This function can reduce the chance of packet collision. However when this value is set too low, there will be increased overheads resulting in poor performance. RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS Threshold, then the packet will be sent without RTS/CTS handshake which may result in incorrect transmission. Beacon Interval: The time interval that the device broadcasts a beacon. This beacon is used to synchronize all wireless clients on the network. DTIM Period: A Delivery Traffic Indication Message informs all wireless clients that the access point will be sending Multi-casted data. N Data Rate: You can limit the transfer rates between the device and wireless clients. Each Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) refers to a specific transfer speed. Channel Bandwidth: Set whether each channel uses 20 or 40Mhz. To achieve 11n speeds, 40Mhz channels must be used. Preamble Type: A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the client. Long Preamble is standard based so increases compatibility. Short Preamble is non-standard, so it decreases compatibility but increases performance. CTS Protection: When Enabled, the performance is slightly lower however the chances of packet collision is greatly reduced. Tx Power: Set the power output of the wireless signal. 68 Security This page allows you to set the wireless security settings.
