INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. 1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose. 2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them. 3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal. 4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices. 5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors. 6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices. If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage depending on the environment. Page 11

After selecting the operation mode click on Apply to save the setting at the bottom of the window. AP Client Mode Page 26
NETWORKLANSETTING These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the Access Point. The Access Point's local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. LANConnectionTypeChoose "Static IP (fixed IP)" if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the following fields. IP Address The IP address of the AP on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. For example, 192.168.10.100. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. Default Gateway The IP address of the router on the local area network. Choose “DHCP (Auto Config)” if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP address to the AP. Page 27
WIRELESSThe wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your Access Point. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless clients that you want to connect to your wireless network. To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features. The Wireless tab provides the following configuration options: Basic, Advanced, MAC Filter, Security, WPS and Station List. WirelessBasicAccessPoint Page 28
AP Mode Support AP Mode Support allows you to “repeat” a wireless signal from an existing access point. Select the radio button to enable or disable “AP Mode Support”. When enabled you have the option of defining the specific access point to repeat off of by entering in the remote access points or wireless router’s wireless MAC address into the “AP MAC Addr. (Optional)” field. You must also configure the TEW-638AP with the same SSID, channel and wireless encryption settings of the remote access point. AP Mode Support enabled Wireless Mode If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this Access Point can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode. Wireless Modes 802.11b/g mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will allow both wireless b and wireless g client to connect and access the TEW-638PAP at 11Mbps for wireless b, at 54Mbps for wireless g and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless n/g @ 54Mbps) to connect and access at the same time. Page 29
802.11n only (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless n client devices to connect and access the TEW-638PAP up to 300Mbps*. Although the wireless n operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, this mode will only permit wireless n client devices to work and will exclude any other wireless mode and devices that are not wireless n only. 802.11b/g/n mixed mode (2.4GHz) - This wireless mode works in the 2.4GHz frequency range and will only allow the use of wireless g client devices to connect and access the TEW-638PAP at 11Mbps for wireless b, 54Mbps for wireless g and up to 300Mbps* for wireless n and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g/n operates in the same 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless b/g/n) to connect and access at the same time. Wireless Name (SSID) When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Broadcast Network Name is set to Disable, 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 Access Point. Multiple SSID # This Access Point support multiple SSID function, you can assign three more SSID for the TEW-638PAP. Create virtual SSID wireless networks (WLAN) with different type of wireless security for each virtual WLAN that is created. When using the wireless adapter wireless site survey tool, there will be additional wireless network to connect with once the feature is enabled. Multiple SSID (Virtual WLANs) Page 30
