150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
Wireless-B and Wireless-G devices. 11b/g/n mixed mode: Select it if you have Wireless-B, Wireless-G and Wireless-N devices.
SSID SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the unique
name of the wireless network. Enter this SSID for wireless devices to have access to the router. You can either customize a network name or use the default.
Broadcast (SSID): Select “Enable” to enable the
router’ SSID to be scanned by wireless devices. The default is enabled. If you disable it, the wireless devices must know the SSID for communication.
BSSID : Basic Service Set Identifier of wireless
network. In IEEE802.11, BSSID is the MAC address of wireless access point.
Channel: The channel used by the current router. You
can select other effective channels from the drop­down list. There are channels 1 to 13 for your options. When there are many wireless signals around, you can select a different channel to reduce interference.
Operating mode: works in 11n mode only. Different
wireless standards involve different frame formats in physical layer. Green Field mode can greatly improve the wireless transmission efficiency .However, if the device that is using 802.11n Greenfield mode does not adopt the same channel with that of 802.11b/g base station, device in 802.11b/g mode can not
43
Page 46
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
communicate with the Greenfield connection point. On the contrary, there will be collision, errors and resending in the information transferring process between them. For common usage, we recommend that you use the Mixed Mode, which integrates traditional mode and Green Field mode.
Channel bandwidth: Select the best channel
bandwidth to enhance the wireless performance. When there are 11b/g and 11n wireless clients, please select the 802.11n mode of 20/40M frequency band; when there are only non-11n wireless clients, you can select 20M frequency band mode; when the wireless network mode is 11n mode, please select 20/40 frequency band to boost its throughput. After you finish the settings, click “Next” to enter the interface for wireless encryption settings.
Guard Interval: Works in 11n mode only. 802.11b/g
standards require there’s an 800 ns interval between the information signs when sending them and this interval is called Guard Interval (GI).Different GIs determine whether there’s interference affecting the transmission rate while sending the signal. We recommend that you use the default value.
MCS (Modulation Coding Scheme): Works in 11n
mode only. The physical rate relies on several elements such as modulation method, encoding rate, the amount of the three-dimensional flow, 40MHz
44
Page 47
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
binding or not, thus, these elements which influence throughput combined will generate multiple physical rates for you choices. MCS can be interpreted as the complete combination of the elements which influence the rate. Each combination is uniquely marked with an integer.
Extension Channel To figure out the network
frequency range in 11n mode.
Aggregation MSDU: Aggregates multi-MSDU to
become a bigger load. The MSDU can be considered as an Ethernet Message. Usually when AP or wireless client receives the message (MSDU) from the protocol station, they would mark it with Ethernet Head, which is called A-MSDU Sub-frame. However, it needs to be converted to 802.11 message format before being sent out through RF port. And A-MSDU technology aims to aggregate several A-MSDU Sub-frames and send out by encapsulating them into an
802.11message.Thus, it reduces the occupied bits of PLCP Preamble, PLCP Header and 802.11MAC which are required to send an 802.11message.Besides, the amount of response frame is decreased and the message sending rate is improved.

6.2 Security Settings
This interface enables you to configure wireless encryption. This device supports WPA-Personal, WPA2­Personal, mixed WPA/WPA2-Personal, Mixed WEP, OPEN, and SHARED etc. It is suggested you encrypt the wireless network to avoid network stealing. Three commonest encryption methods are introduced here (you need to input password to connect to your wireless network adapter when
you have encrypted the router, please refer to Appendix for configuration methods).
6.2.1 WPA-Personal
WPA is a standard and interoperable WLAN enhanced security solution which greatly strengthens the existing and future WLAN system data protection and access control ability. WPA originates from IEEE802.11i standard, and is compatible with it. WPA guarantees to protect WLAN users’ data and only the authorized network users can have access to WLAN. The encryption Algorithms it adopts is better than WEP.
46
Page 49
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
WPA Algorithms: You can choose either AES
(advanced encryption standard) mode or TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol) mode.
Pass Phrase: Please enter the encryption character
string. It consists of 8-63 ASCII characters.
Key Renewal Interval: It refers to the valid period
for the key.
6.2.2 WPA2-Personal
WPA2(Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) provides better security than Wireless Equivalent Privacy WEP or Wi-Fi Protected Access WPAdoes. It does not only adopt TKIP encryption but also the new encryption mode----AES.
47
Page 50
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
WPA Algorithms: Select data encryption type. AES
(advanced encryption standard), TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol) and TIKIP&AES are supported.
Pass Phrase: Please enter the encryption characters
string. The valid character is ASCII. It consists of 8­63 ASCII characters.
Key Renewal Interval: It refers to the valid period
for the key.
6.2.3 Mixed WEP

3G
3G, the 3rd Generation, refers to the third digital communication technology. It can manage multi-media such as image, audio, and video streams etc. and provide different communication services such as web browse, telephone session, and electronic business etc.
TD-SCDMA
TD-SCDMA is short for Time Division - Synchronous CDMA, which is the 3G standard of mainland China. Integrating world-leading technologies such as intelligent wireless, synchronous CDMA and software wireless electricity, it has its unique advantages in its frequency spectrum utility, flexibility in operation supporting, frequency flexibility and cost. TD-SCDMA is one of the three 3G standards in the world.
CDMA2000
CDMA2000, also called CDMA Multi-Carrier, is one of the current three 3G standards in the world which was put forward by an American company. The system derives from narrow frequency CDMAOne digital standard. You can upgrade the original CDMAOne structure to 3G with cheap construction cost.
WCDMA
WCDMA (Wideband CDMA), also called CDMA Direct
90
Page 93
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
Spread, is the broadband CDMA technology which was put forward by Europe. It is the standard of 3G technology which was developed from GSM network. The standard has put forward the evolved strategy. The system can be established on the present GSM network. The system provider can change into this system easily and it would be accepted widely in Asia. Thus, W-CDMA has a born advantage in market and is one of the three 3G standards in the world.
Channel
Channel is a virtual path between signal receiving and sending ends .The usable wireless frequency is divided into many segments by different standards and each frequency can modulate and transmit information separately, which equals to an independently-operated information channel.
If there are several APs coexisting in one area, you need to configure the channel for each AP to minimize the interference between neighboring APs. Generally, if 3 American- standard APs (i.e. adopts 11 channel) coexist in one area, you can set the channel respectively as 1, 6 and 11 to avoid interference
SSID
Service Set Identifier .An SSID is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all
91
Page 94
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to every single packet transmitted in the wireless network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are the same because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are private. Conversely, 104 and 128 bit are the same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field. Users must select the same key number for all devices. The other method is to enter a text and let the computer generate the WEP key for you. However, since each product use different method for key generation, it might not work for different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended using.
WPA/WPA2
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data
92

150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.

Appendix Troubleshooting
In this part some questions and problems shown during the Router’s usage and installation will be given suggesting answers. If your problems are not in the list, please log on to our website www.tenda.cn or send an E-mail to support@tenda.cn, and we will reply to you at the earliest.
1. Enter the IP address but can not visit the
WEB management interface. What can I do?
Please make sure the cable is well connected and the corresponding indicator light up.
Make sure the device is not in Wireless Router mode. In this mode, you can visit the WEB interface only by Wireless network.
In the wireless access point (AP) mode, you must specify an IP for your computer (192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254) to access the device. Please click
“Start" - " Run "to enter “ping 192.168.0.1”to diagnose whether the device is connected. If it can ping pass, then check whether your browser enable a proxy server. If enabled please disable it. If you can not ping pass, you can hold down the "RESET" button for 7 seconds to restore the factory settings, and “ping192.168.0.1” again.
2. Forget the login password and can not enter
the setting page. What can I do?
Press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore the
94
Page 97
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
Router to default settings.
3. The computer connected with the Router
shows IP address conflict. What can I do?
Check if there are other DHCP servers in the LAN. If there are, please disable them.
The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.0.1, please make sure the address is not occupied by other devices. If there are two computers with the same IP addresses, please modify one.
4. My computer can not log in equipment; can
not access the internet, and a yellow triangle
with exclamation point symbols shows, how to
deal with?
This problem is due to your network card is not assigned the IP address. If set your computer to automatically obtain IP, please ensure that the source of the router's DHCP is turned on. DHCP can automatically assign an IP address to your computer. If there is no DHCP, please set a static IP address and fill in gateways and DNS, otherwise you can not access Internet.
5. I can not use E-mail and access the
Internet. What can I do?
It happens in ADSL connection and Dynamic IP users. And you need modify the default MTU value (1492). Please in the “WAN Setting” modify the MTU value with the recommended
95
Page 98
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
value as 1450 or 1400.
6. How can I configure and access the Internet
via Dynamic IP?
In Setup Wizard of the Web utility interface, select “Dynamic IP” connection type and click “Save” to activate it. As some ISPs bind the user computer’s MAC address, you need to clone the Router’s WAN MAC address to the bind21ing PC’s MAC address. Select “MAC Address Clone” in “Advanced Setting” to input your computer’s MAC address and click “Apply” to activate it.
7. How to share my computer’s resource with
other users in Internet
If you want Internet users to access the internal server via the Router such as e-mail server, Web, FTP, you can configure the “Virtual Server” to come true.
Step 1: create your internal server, make sure the LAN users can access these servers and know related service port. For example, Web server’s port is 80; FTP is 21; SMTP is 25 and POP3 is 110.
Step 2: in the Router’s web click “Virtual Server” and select “Single Port Forwarding”.
Step 3: input the external service port given by the Router, for example, 80.
Step 4: input the internal Web service port, for example,
80.
Step 5: Input the internal server’s IP address. If your Web
96

Voice:18635190(UDP) PPTP VPN TCP 1723 Iphone5.0 TCP 22555 SMTP TCP 25 POP3 TCP 110
8. Why can’t I use wireless WAN function to
access the Internet?
a. Please make sure that the wireless adapter can access the Internet when connected to the computer, wireless signals scanned by the adapter are strong enough, and quality of signals is good enough. If it can scan too many wireless signals, we recommend you to use 11b/g mode for reducing interference.
b. Please make sure that the needed parameters such as SSID, MAC address etc. are correct. It is recommended to
97
Page 100
150Mbps Portable 3G Wireless Router User Guide
use Auto Scan to finish the settings in the setup process.
c. Please make sure that IP address range obtained at WAN port are different as the one obtained at LAN port. If they are at the same range, you can modify the LAN IP address to solve the problem.
d. Please do not detach any antenna of the wireless Router when you are using the Router.
