authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be
installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at
the factory to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

INTRODUCTION
The Wireless Range Extender enables you to extend your existing wireless network coverage
by placing the Wireless Range Extender in between your router and the wireless client devices.
This is great for extending wireless coverage to basements, home offices or bedrooms that
might be distant from your wireless router. The Wireless Range Extender increases the range
of your wireless network by extending the wireless coverage of an existing wireless network.
Features:
Faster Wireless Networking - The Wireless Range Extender provides up to 300Mbps* wireless
connection with other 802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in
real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
Extend Internet access for wireless devices - Allows you to extend your internet access
throughout your home with devices such as laptops, Smartphones, tablets and more.
IEEE 802.11n and 802.11g Compliant - The Wireless Range Extender is still fully compatible
with the IEEE 802.11g standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11g USB and Cardbus
adapters.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the N300 High Power
Easy-N-Range Extender.
Unpacking
Open the box of the Wireless Range Extender and carefully unpack it. The box should
contain the following items:
One N300 High Power Easy-N-Range Extender
One CD contain Users Guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for
replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Wireless Range Extender can be performed properly using the
following methods:
The easiest and most secure way to connect your Wireless Range Extender to your the
router or access point is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).
Please refer to your user manual for information on your router or access point make sure
you understand how to enable WPS.
Once you know, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Plug the Wireless Range Extender into a wall outlet and verify if the power
LED has turned from red to a blinking amber.
Step 2 - Press the WPS button on your AP/Router.
Note: Usually the WPS LED will blink once it is pressed. Check your
router’s manual for more information.
Step 3 - Press and hold the WPS button until the light starts blinking
green and then release. Please allow up to two minutes for
the WPS process to finish. Once the connection is successful
the LED will be solid green.
Step 4 - Your AP/Router and Wireless Range Extender will be connected when the LED
light turns solid green.
Note: If connection fails, try moving your
Wireless Range Extender
closer to your wireless
router/access point and repeat steps 2 and 3.
3
Step 5 - To connect your wireless clients to the Wireless Range Extender, use the
Wi-Fi Network SSID and the Wi-Fi Password located on your
configuration note. You may also use WPS to connect your clients
to the Wireless Range Extender.

INTERNET
There is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that connects to the
xDSL/Cable modem for Internet connectivity.
RESET
Use a pin-shaped item to push to reset this device to factory default settings. It will be a useful tool when the manager forgot the
password to login, and needs to restore the device back to default settings.
On/Off Power Switch
(down up position).
Web-based Configuration Setup Wizard
1)To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser such as Internet Explorer
and enter http://tew-737hre
2. Enter the Password you created when you first logged on during the setup wizard and click
Login.
6
WiFi-Setting
Use this section to manually configure the wireless settings for your Repeater.
Wireless Mode: This will automatically be Repeater Mode.
Site Survey: Scans and displays available Wi-Fi networks.
Wi-Fi Network Name: 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 default network name.
Channel Width: Select the Channel Width:
Auto 20/40 - This is the default setting. Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.
20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients.
WiFi Security Mode: Select WEP or WPA Personal.
7
Extended WiFi Setup
This page allows you to configure the wireless LAN settings for your Repeater. You have the
option of creating a new Wi-Fi Network Name for your Repeater or you may use the same Wi-
Fi Network Name as your wireless router or AP.
Wi-Fi Network Name: Displays the current Wi-Fi Network Name you are connected to.
Extended Wi-Fi Network Name: Select Same as Wi-Fi Network Name or Create a new Wi-Fi Network Name.
Channel Width: Select the Channel Width:
Auto 20/40 - This is the default setting. Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.
20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients.
Security Mode: Select WEP or WPA Personal.
Advance
These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended
that these settings remain set to their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these values.
Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
8
Beacon Interval – A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that transmitted periodically to announce the
presee ad proide iforatio aout the router’s ireless etork. The iteral is the aout tie etee eah eao
transmission.
Default Value:100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000)
RTS Threshold – The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data
will send a RTS before sending the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS).
The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function.
Default Value: 2346 (range: 256-2346)
DTIM Interval – A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is an informational message that is sent as part of a beacon by an
access point (your wireless router) to a wireless client (wireless device or connecting station) in sleep mode to provide an alert that
data is awaiting delivery. The DTIM Interval (also called Data Beacon Rate) is the amount of time between DTIM transmissions
included in part of a beacon.
Default Value: 1 (range: 1-255)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
If your wireless device has WPS PIN (typically an 8-digit code printed on the wireless device product label or located in the wireless
device wireless software utility), you can use this method.
WPS: Enable or Disable the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function
Status: Display the state (Un-configured State/Configured State) information of WPS.
Self-PIN Number: Display the default PIN number of WLAN Router.
Client PIN Number: Type Client PIN number the client uses to negotiate with WLAN Router via WPS protocol. It is only used when
users want their station to join Router's network.
Push Button Configuration: Clicking the Start PBC button will invoke the Push Button Configuration (PBC) method of WPS. It is only
used when WLAN Router acts as a Registrar.
