Wireless LAN Networking
This section provides background information on wireless LAN networking technology. Consult
the Glossary for definitions of the terminology used in this section.
THE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. CHANGING
NETWORK SETTINGS AND PARTICULARLY SECURITY SETTTINGS SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED ADMINISTRATOR.
Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate)
The TEW-811DRU provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most
networking scenarios, the factory default Best (automatic) setting proves the most efficient. This
setting allows your TEW-811DRU to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the
communication quality drops below a certain level, the TEW-811DRU automatically switches to a
lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable.
However, when the communication quality improves again, the TEW-811DRU gradually increases
the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available transmission rate.
Types of Wireless Networks
Wireless LAN networking works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate to a wired LAN via access points. Each access
point and its wireless devices are known as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set
(ESS) is two or more BSSs in the same subnet. In ad hoc mode (also known as peer-to-peer
mode), wireless devices communicate with each other directly and do not use an access point.
This is an Independent BSS (IBSS).
To connect to a wired network within a coverage area using access points, set the operation mode to
Infrastructure (BSS). To set up an independent wireless workgroup without an access point, use
Ad-hoc (IBSS) mode.
A D -H OC (IBSS) N ETWORK
Ad-hoc mode does not require an access point or a wired network. Two or more wireless stations
communicate directly to each other. An ad-hoc network may sometimes be referred to as an
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
To set up an ad-hoc network, configure all the stations in ad-hoc mode. Use the same SSID and
channel for each station.
10
When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single access point, you have a Basic
Service Set (BSS).
In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay data
packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations can
then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.
In an ESS environment, users are able to move from one access point to another without losing the
11
connection. In the diagram below, when the user moves from BSS (1) to BSS (2) the WLAN client
devices automatically switches to the channel used in BSS (2).

Introduction
The TEW-811DRU 802.11ac (draft 2.0)2x2 Gigabit Wireless Router is an high-performance,
wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public
places.
Unlike most routers, the TEW-811DRU provides data transfers at up to 867Mbps when using 11AC
connection. This router is also back compatible with 802.11n or 802.11g or 11b devices. This means
that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of
11ac’s speed when you mix 11ac /11n and 11b/g devices, but you will not lose the ability to
communicate when you incorporate the 11ac
standard into your 11b/g/n network. You may choose
to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 11b/g/n devices with 11ac
devices.

Installation Considerations
The TEW-811DRU 802.11ac(draft 2.0)2X2 Gigabit Wireless Router lets you access your network,
using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however,
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:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TEW-811DRU and other network devices to
a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your
wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet
(1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
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.
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.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances
that generate extreme RF noise.

Network
Network: WAN Setting
WAN Connection Type
There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and
Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet
Service Provider. Static
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of
this information.
DHCP
A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one
from the ISP's server.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies
your system to the ISP's server.
PPPoE
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to
enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access
to the Internet.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect
button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
L2TP
L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This
method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your
Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
26
L2TP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the
same as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect
button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the
values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask ,
Default Gateway.
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,
select this option.
PPTP
PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP.
This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you
to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain
access to the Internet.
PPTP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be
the same as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect
button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the
values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask ,
Default Gateway, and optional for DNS Server
27
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,
select this option.
MAC Address Clone
Each networking device has it's own unique MAC address defined by the hardware
manufacturer. Some ISP's may check your computer's MAC address. Some ISP's record the
MAC address of the network adapter in the computer or router used to initially connect to their
service. The ISP will then only grant Internet access to requests from a computer or router with
this particular MAC address. This router has a different MAC address than the computer or
router that initially connected to the ISP. If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's
WAN-side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC
address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or copy the MAC address of a PC. To copy
the MAC address of the computer that initially connected to the ISP, connect to the router using
that computer and click the Clone Your PC's MAC Address button. The WAN interface will
then use the MAC address of the network adapter in your computer.
28
Network: LAN Setting
IP Address
The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in
the range of IP addresses available for the LAN.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local area network.
Enable DHCP Server
Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will
manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other
devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.
The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP
configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically". When you set Enable
DHCP Server, the following options are displayed.
DHCP IP Address Range
These two IP values (Start and End) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses
when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any
29
addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could,
therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain
network address details automatically.
It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does
reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved, so that the DHCP Server
knows that this specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device.
Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.10.1. This means that addresses
192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local area network.
Gateway
The IP address of the router on the local area network. For example, 192.168.10.1.
DHCP Lease Time
The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the
lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates
the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the
lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no
longer needed than another tenant may use the address.
IP Address:
The LAN address that you want to reserve.
MAC Address
To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the router's
Web-Management interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address

A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC
address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by
dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a
computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the
router from the computer and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button to enter the MAC
address.

Wireless
Wireless: Basic
35
Radio On/Off
This indicates the wireless operating status. The wireless can be turned on or off by the slide
switch. When the radio is on, the following parameters are in effect.
Wireless Mode
If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same
transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate wireless
mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate
wireless mode. The TEW-811DRU supports 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless networks. There are many
different configuration options available to choose from. Use the drop down list to select the
wireless mode.
Note: One wireless mode can be selected can select at any one time. This means that you can
only select one of the operating frequency at a time.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the
list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the
SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured
network name. Add up to three additional SSIDs to create virtual wireless networks from one
wireless Router Access Point device.
Add Additional Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To add additional wireless Network Names simply add the name to the Multiple SSID field and
click on apply at the bottom of the page. When finished, go to the Security section in this Users
Guide for wireless security configuration.
Frequency (Channel)
A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication
between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic
devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your
wireless network.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to
wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP
must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must
have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same channel.
( Not e t hat WDS securit y is incom pat ible wit h m ixed m ode, like WPAPSK+ WPA2PSK m ixed,
WEP AUTO and 802.1x, bot h feat ure cannot be used at t he sam e t im e) .
Configuring WDS with TEW-811DRU
Enable the option for WDS and input the MAC Address of the wireless device that also supports
WDS in to the blank fields. You can add up to four additional devices in the spaces provided.
36
Click on apply at the bottom of the page, to apply your setting changes.
Enable the security seeing in security page, each WDS APs need to use same security setting.
(Note: WDS supports wireless g/n modes. The use multiple Access Point will reduces the
overall network throughput to ½ the TEW-811DRU.
37
Wireless: Advanced
Beacon Interval
Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a
Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
DTIM
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages
for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect
the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is
1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
Fragmentation Threshold
Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the
presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when
frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at
38
its default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor
performance.
RTS Threshold
When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance
can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol.
The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size
in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of
2346 bytes.
Short Preamble and Slot
Using a short (400ns) guard interval 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.
39
Wireless: Security
40
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.
WPABoth of these options select some variant of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) -- security
standards published by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA Mode further refines the variant that the
router should employ.
WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the
router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE
802.11i security standard. With the "WPA2" option, the router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to
WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the "WPA2 Only" option, the router associates only
with clients that also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type: The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. With the "TKIP and
AES" option, the router negotiates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available.
Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and
multicast data is changed.
WPA-PSK
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 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.
Wireless MAC Filtering
Choose the type of MAC filtering needed.
Turn MAC Filtering Disable: When "Disable" is selected, MAC addresses are not used to
control network access.
Add MAC Filtering Rule
Use this section to add MAC addresses to the list below.
41
MAC Address
Enter the MAC address of a computer that you want to control with MAC filtering. Computers
that have obtained an IP address from the router's DHCP server will be in the DHCP Client List.
Select a device from the drop down menu.
The rule of thumb:
In mixed mode, multicast key has to be TKIP, but unicast key can be different per stations.
In WPA or WPA2 only mode, unicast and multicast key can be only AES for WPA2, and TKIP
for WPA. (AES means the unicast and multicast key are all AES. TKIP/AES means multicast
is TKIP. But unicast can be AES or TKIP, which depends on the peer.)
Wireless: Guest Network
42
Guest Network
Enter the SSID of Guest Network, this allow families to share their home network with friends and
relatives in a controlled manner without needing to expose private Wi-Fi access codes or other
personal data.
A guest network is a small section of an organization's computer network designed for use by
temporary visitors. Besides helping to keep an organization's internal information private, guest
networks also help avoid spreading any computer worms that visitors may have on their systems.

44
PIN Settings
A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to create
a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a
new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the Administrator
("admin" account) can change or reset the PIN.
Current PIN
Shows the current value of the router's PIN.
Reset To WPS Default

46
Advanced
Advanced: DMZ
DMZ Setting
DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router,
you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer.
When a LAN host is configured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incoming
packets that do not match some other incoming session or rule. If any other ingress rule is in
place, that will be used instead of sending packets to the DMZ host; so, an active session,
virtual server, active port trigger, or port forwarding rule will take priority over sending a packet
47
to the DMZ host. (The DMZ policy resembles a default port forwarding rule that forwards every
port that is not specifically sent anywhere else.)
The router provides only limited firewall protection for the DMZ host. The router does not
forward a TCP packet that does not match an active DMZ session, unless it is a connection
establishment packet (SYN). Except for this limited protection, the DMZ host is effectively
"outside the firewall". Anyone considering using a DMZ host should also consider running a
firewall on that DMZ host system to provide additional protection.
Packets received by the DMZ host have their IP addresses translated from the WAN-side IP
address of the router to the LAN-side IP address of the DMZ host. However, port numbers are
not translated; so applications on the DMZ host can depend on specific port numbers.
The DMZ capability is just one of several means for allowing incoming requests that might
appear unsolicited to the NAT. In general, the DMZ host should be used only if there are no
other alternatives, because it is much more exposed to cyberattacks than any other system on
the LAN. Thought should be given to using other configurations instead: a virtual server, a port
forwarding rule, or a port trigger. Virtual servers open one port for incoming sessions bound for
a specific application (and also allow port redirection and the use of ALGs).
Port forwarding is rather like a selective DMZ, where incoming traffic targeted at one or more
ports is forwarded to a specific LAN host (thereby not exposing as many ports as a DMZ host).
Port triggering is a special form of port forwarding, which is activated by outgoing traffic, and for
which ports are only forwarded while the trigger is active.
Few applications truly require the use of the DMZ host. Following are examples of when a
DMZ host might be required:
‧ A host needs to support several applications that might use overlapping ingress ports such
that two port forwarding rules cannot be used because they would potentially be in conflict.
‧ To handle incoming connections that use a protocol other than ICMP, TCP, UDP, and IGMP
(also GRE and ESP, when these protocols are enabled by the PPTP and IPSec
Enable DMZ
Putting a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of
this option is only recommended as a last resort.
