What About Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance the system’s security:
Keep the operating system of the computer updated with the latest security patches. Run the system update utility at least weekly.
Keep the email program updated with the latest security patches. In addition, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent through chat rooms, whenever possible.
Install a virus checker and keep it updated.
Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over the Wireless Router. Besides certain vulnerability problems, most service providers prohibit running servers on consumerlevel accounts and may suspend your account for violating the terms of service.
Use the service provider's mail servers for sending email.
Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Criminals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when breaking into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your service provider may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network.
The TR3300-AC ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on the product for the factory security settings. If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see Configuring the Wireless Connection (page 18).

Selecting an Installation Location
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install the Wireless Router:
Release 33 STANDARD 1.5 February 2015 |
TR3300-AC 802.11ac Wireless Router User Guide 15 |
Chapter 4: Installing the Wireless Router
Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and should be close enough to the Wireless Router that extension cords are not required.
Is the modem nearby? Can you easily run cables between the Wireless Router’s location and the modem?
If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run cables between the Wireless Router’s location and those devices?
If you want to install the Wireless Router on a desktop, is there enough space on either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause overheating.
How close are the wireless devices? In general, the Wireless Router should be located close to the center of the user sphere. The Wireless Router wireless connection range is typically 100–200 feet (30m–65m) for 2.4 GHz signals and less for 5 GHz signals. A number of factors can affect connection range, as described below.
Desktop Mounting Instructions
Position the Wireless Router so that:
air flows freely around it
the back faces the nearest wall
it will not fall to the floor if bumped or moved
the sides of the unit are not blocked.
Note: Clean the Wireless Router using only a clean, slightly moistened, cloth. Do not use aerosols in the vicinity of the Wireless Router.
Factors Affecting Wireless Range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Increases range |
Locating the unit centrally |
|
Creating as much "line-of-sight" as possible with client devices |
|
|
Decreases range |
Metal or concrete walls between the Wireless Router and other |
|
devices |
|
Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the |
|
Wireless Router and other devices |
|
Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave |
|
ovens, wireless speaker/receiver systems, or other wireless |
|
networks) |
|
Placing the device in a cabinet or other enclosed space |
Note: Decreasing the range of the wireless network may be beneficial, as long as the decreased range is sufficient for your needs. By limiting the network’s range, you reduce interference with other networks and make it harder for unwanted users to find and connect to the network.
Release 33 STANDARD 1.5 February 2015 |
TR3300-AC 802.11ac Wireless Router User Guide 16 |
Chapter 4: Installing the Wireless Router
Note: Setting the transmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it to Medium or Low decreases the range proportionately. Medium or Low may be more appropriate for highdensity residential locations.
Ethernet or Wireless?
There are two ways to connect the computer (or other equipment) to the Wireless Router. The following will help you decide which is best for you:
Ethernet
Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local Area Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if the computer has built-in Ethernet hardware. The TR3300-AC provides support for up to four such connected devices.
Note: To connect more than four computers to the TR3300-AC through the Ethernet ports, you need an Ethernet switch (available at computer retailers).
The Wireless Router package comes with one 4-foot (1.2m) Ethernet cable (the connectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if necessary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Wireless Router directly to a computer, or to an Ethernet switch with a cross-over switch, ask for Category 5e (CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required for gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable.
Wireless
Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to the Wireless Router. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to access the TR3300-AC using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to the connections supported via Ethernet.
Note: You can use the wireless connection if the computer has a built-in or aftermarket plug-in wireless adapter. To learn more about which wireless hardware works best with the computer, see your computer dealer.
Both
If you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and wireless for the others. To connect five or more computers to the Ethernet ports, you will need an Ethernet switch (available at computer retailers.)

TR3300-AC 802.11ac Wireless Router User Guide 17 |
Chapter 4: Installing the Wireless Router
Connecting the Wireless Router
1.Unplug the power to turn off the modem.
2.Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (included) to the modem, and the other end to the WAN port on the Wireless Router.
3.Reconnect the plug on the modem to turn the modem back on. Wait approximately 2 minutes to allow the modem to fully power up.
4.Connect the power adapter (included) to the power connector on the back of the Wireless Router, and then connect the power adapter to an available AC outlet. Wait until the 2.4G and 5G LEDs on the front panel of the Wireless Router turn solid green.
5.To manage the setup of the Wireless Router, you can use a second Ethernet cable (not provided) to connect a computer to an available LAN port on the TR3300-AC, or you can connect wirelessly by using the preset wireless security settings printed on the security label located on the bottom of the Wireless Router.
6.Open a browser on the computer to access the management interface of the Wireless Router. If the webpage does not display correctly, try another browser. See Accessing the Configuration Interface (page 19) for more information.
Note: In some cases, the service provider may redirect the browser to their welcome page so that you can establish new service. This step may be required before you can manage the TR3300AC configuration settings.
Configuring the Wireless Connection
The TR3300-AC ships with a secure SSID that is unique for every device. Wi-Fi network information is located on the label on the bottom of the Wireless Router. You should configure the Wireless Router's wireless settings.
