4 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the IEEE 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port. Unpacking Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:  TEW-673GRU 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port  CD ROM (Utility/User’s Guide)  Multi-Language Quick Installation Guide  2 x 3dBi gain dipole antenna  Power Adapter (12V DC, 2A)  Cat. 5 Ethernet Cable (1.5m/5ft) If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the WLAN Router can be performed properly using the following methods:  The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.  Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.  Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband Router.  Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.
5 Wireless Performance 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.
