Creating a Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A

home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet

access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a

printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,

additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,

game consoles, and Internet cameras.

 Modem: Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service

Provider).

 Router: Connects multiple devices to the Internet.

 Switch: Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your

router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired

network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an

additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to set up a home network

1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:

 Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless

networking capabilities.

 A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem

typically supplied by your ISP).

 A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.

2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by

your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your

modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.

3. To set up wireless security on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security” on

page 8.

How to setup your device in router mode

Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “Router Mode” on

page 11 for more detailed installation instructions.

How to setup your device in AP/WISP mode

Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “AP/WISP Mode”

How to choose the type of security for your wireless network

Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and

unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet

recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your

new router.

There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each

having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network

taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength

along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).

It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from

accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).

In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest

strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your

network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for

your network.

Wireless Encryption Types

 WEP: Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11b/g hardware. This is

the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not

recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11 b or

802.11g wireless adapters or computers with old embedded wireless cards(wireless

clients), you may have to set your router to WEP to allow the old adapters to

connect to the router.

Note: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps.

 WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much

of the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades)

to support this encryption standard. Total wireless speeds under this encryption

type however are limited to 54Mbps.

 WPA-Auto: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect wireless

devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will

automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device

connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless

network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only

when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2

encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.

Note: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit

your connection speeds to 54Mbps

 WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA

encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest

connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this encryption

standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support

WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto encryption.

Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless

appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported.Below is brief

comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended

configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow

these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:

1. 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.

a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your

home, and near the ceiling, if possible.

b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and

metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry

walls.

c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects),

so the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the

better.

d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and

fluorescent lighting.

e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so if your

wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the

signal strength to determine the ideal position.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)

from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device

uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower.

If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices,

installing additional access points or wireless extenders.

 Enable Auto Channel Scan – Check this option to set your router to scan for which

wireless channels to use automatically.

 Frequency (Channel) – Selecting the Auto option will set your router to scan for the

appropriate wireless channel to use automatically. Click the drop-down list and

select the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the

Channel that is least used by neighboring wireless networks.

 Channel Width: Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network.

This setting only applies to 802.11n and 802.11ac. For greater 802.11n

performance, select Auto 20/40MHz (Options: 20MHz or Auto 20/40MHz). It is

recommended to use the default channel bandwidth settings.

For greater 802.11ac performance, select Auto 20/40/80MHz (Options: 20MHz,

Auto 20/40MHz, Auto 20/40/80MHz). It is recommended to use the default channel

width settings.

Note: Please note that the default settings may provide more stability than the

higher channel bandwidth settings such as Auto 20/40/80MHz for connectivity in

busy wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area.

o 20 MHz: This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless devices

connecting at 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This setting may provide more

stability than 20/40MHz (Auto) for connectivity in busy wireless environments

where there are several neighboring wireless networks in the area.

o Auto 20/40MHz (11n) or Auto 20/40/80MHz (11ac): When this setting is active,

this mode is capable of providing higher performance only if the wireless devices

support the channel width settings. Enabling Auto 20/40MHz or Auto 20/40/80

MHz typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting an

802.11ac/n wireless client.

 Smart Phones

 Wireless Laptop computers

 Wireless IP cameras

Each device may have its own software utility for searching and connecting to available

wireless networks, therefore, you must refer to the User’s Manual/Guide of your

wireless client device to determine how to search and connect to this router’s wireless

network.

You can view the currently connected wireless client devices under Advanced > Wireless

(2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Station List in the router management page.

See the “Appendix” on page 77 for general information on connecting to a wireless

network.

Connect wireless devices using WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your

wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to

easily add wireless devices to your network.

Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled or

if you are using WEP security.

There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to

your network.

 Push Button Configuration (PBC) method

o (RECOMMENDED) Hardware Push Button method–with an external button

located physically on your router and on your client device

o WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in router management page

 PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in router management page

Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation of

WPS.

Recommended Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method

TRENDnet User’s Guide

TEW-817DTR

Note: It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created

before connecting clients using the PBC method. By default your router is

preconfigured with a wireless encryption key. If no wireless key is defined when

connecting via PBC, the router will automatically create an encryption key that is 64

characters long. This 64 character key will then have to be used if one has to

connect computers to the router using the traditional connection method.

To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless

device you are connecting (consult client device User’s Guide for length of time), then

push and hold the WPS button located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. The

WPS LED will blink to indicate WPS has been activated on your router. (See “Product

Hardware Features” on page 4)

For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each

additional device.

Multiple SSID

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Multiple SSID

The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to 3 SSIDs (or wireless network

names). When wireless devices are searching for available wireless networks to connect

to, the SSIDs (or wireless network names) will appear as separate and different wireless

networks. Since they appear as separate wireless networks, they are also referred to as

virtual APs (Access Points) since they appear as separate wireless access points but are

actually all being broadcasting and managed by a single wireless access point. Each

virtual AP can be configured each with a different SSID (or wireless network name),

security type and additional settings for wireless devices to connect. You can use the

multiple SSID feature to setup guest wireless accounts with a different security type to

keep your primary wireless network security information private. The diagram shows an

example of a client connecting to SSID 1 and another client connecting to SSID 2.

By default, your router functions in Access Point mode to allow wireless client devices to

connect and access your network resources and access the Internet using a single SSID.

The diagram below shows your router in Access Point mode and clients connecting to

your router using a single SSID.

To configure multiple SSID on your router:

Advanced Settings

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Advanced

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.

 Beacon Period: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that

transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about

the router’s wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each

beacon transmission.

Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 100-1000)

 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.

 Fragment 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 its default value of 2346

bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.

 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: 2347 (range: 1-2347)

 TX Power: This setting allows you to adjust the wireless transmit power to a lower

setting. In busy wireless environments, lowering the transmit power may improve

better performance and connectivity and decrease interference with neighboring

wireless networks.

 Short Preamble: Using a short preamble can potentially increase throughput as the

transfer time is 96 microseconds versus the more commonly used long preamble

192 microseconds. However, using a short preamble is not supported using 802.11b

legacy devices, in some cases cause wireless interoperability issues, and increase

the error rate in some installations. The preamble is the info. sent from the wireless

transmitter to the receiver indicating when data is incoming.

 Short Slot: Short Slot Override defines the amount of time a device waits after a

data frame collision before retransmitting the data. Reducing the time from 20

microseconds (standard) to 9 microseconds can potentially increase throughput

however, can also increase the error rate.

 20/40 Coexistence (2.4GHz only): 20/40 MHz Coexistence allows for the auto-

fallback from 40MHz to 20MHz channel width operation when neighboring 802.11

wireless networks are detected.

 Guard Interval: 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.

 MCS – Allows you to lock down the wireless transmission rate.

 Extension channel – Allows you to assign either the upper or lower extension

channels to use for channel bonding when establishing connectivity at the higher

channel widths 40MHz and 80MHz.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

 A-MPDU: Using Aggregate Multiple Protocol Data Unit will allow the all frames

transmitted to be aggregated into larger size A-MPDU formatted frames before

sending and receiving potentially increasing the overall throughput.

Clone a MAC address

Advanced > Setup > WAN Settings

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control)

address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a

computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already

registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a

new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered

MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC

address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the

modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and

manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.

Note: For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the

stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are

installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to

your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to

disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the

power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s User Guide/Manual or

contact your ISP.

Identify your network on the Internet

Advanced > Setup > Management

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on

your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet

requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this

management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the

given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability

to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your

ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify

your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and

other devices on your local area network.

Note: First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in the

Server Address drop-down list.

Open a device on your network to the Internet

This router can provide access to devices on your local area network to the Internet

using the Virtual Server, Special Application, method (DMZ NOT recommended).

DMZ

Advanced > Firewall > DMZ

You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network to the Internet

to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature

that makes all the ports and services available on the WAN/Internet side of the router

and forwards them to a single IP address (computer or network device) on your

network. The DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet however,

it is a very insecure technology and will open local area network to greater threats from

Internet attacks.

It is strongly recommended to use Virtual Server (also called port forwarding, see

“Virtual Server” on page 33) to allow access to your computers or network devices from

the Internet.

1. Make the computer or network device (for which you are establishing a DMZ link) has

a static IP address. Signing up for a Dynamic DNS service (outlined in Identify Your

Network section page 29) will provide identification of the router’s network from the

Internet.

2. Log into the management page (see “Access your management page” on page 7).

3. Click on Advanced and click Firewall, then click on DMZ.

4. Click the DMZ Enable drop-down list, and select Enable.

5. Enter the IP address you assigned to the computer or network device to expose to the

Internet.

6. To save changes, click Apply.

Virtual Server

Advanced > Firewall > Virtual Server

Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or

required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer

or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ

(see “DMZ” on page 33) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports

used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera

(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on

your network to be able to view it over the Internet. To open several ports please refer

to “Gaming” section on page 35.

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual

Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service

(outlined in Identify Your Network section page 29).

1. Log into the management page (see “Access your management page” on page 7).

2. Click on Advanced and click on Firewall, then click on Virtual Server.

3. Review the virtual server settings. Click Add to save settings.

Check the option to the left most of the entry to enable and uncheck to disable.

 Rule Enable: Check the option to enable the virtual server.

 Rule Name: Enter a name for the virtual server.

 Public Port: Enter the port number used to access the device from the Internet.

 Private Port: Enter the port number required by your device. Refer to the

connecting device’s documentation for reference to the network port(s) required.

Note: The Public Port can be assigned a different port number than the Private

Port (also known as port redirection), however it is recommended to use the same

port number for both settings. Please refer to the device documentation to

determine which ports and protocols are required. It is recommended to assign a

static IP address to the device or use DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of

the device does not change.

Special Applications

Advanced > Firewall > Special Applications

Application rules (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming

applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several

ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will

wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a

device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will

forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on

your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently

use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow

access for applications. See “Enable/disable UPnP on your router” on page 28.

Add static routes

Advanced > Setup > Routing

You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to

other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be

determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for

the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another

network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these

two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate

between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an

example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network

to access the other network.

Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking

knowledge.

1. Log into the management page (see “Access your management page” on page 7).

2. Click on Advanced and click on Setup, then click on Routing.
