3.3 Installation Considerations
The TEW-680MB Media Bridge allows you to access your network by using a wireless
connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind 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:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TEW-680MB 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate extreme RF noise.
16
11. Using the Configuration Menu

profiles and store new profile for later use.
Configure the setting to connect to a wireless network, selection option for network type, SSID,
and wireless security. The profile can be edited, deleted and made active from this option.
There are several ways to connect to your wireless network, go through the setup wizard, add a
new profile or search using site survey feature.
19
When adding an Profile, please make sure your information matches your existing wireless
network.
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.
None
No encryption.
WEP (Open or Shared)
A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of
privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP
network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using
WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key
length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by
entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American
20
Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is
provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to
HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A
default key is selected for use on the network.
Key Length
Hex
ASCII
64-bit
10 characters
5 characters
128-bit

WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal
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 (AES
or TKIP type) 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.
