TL-WA701ND 150Mbps Wireless N Access Point User Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The TL-WA701ND 150Mbps Wireless N Access Point is dedicated to Small Office/Home Office
(SOHO) wireless network solutions. It allows for greater range and mobility within your wireless
network while also allowing you to connect the wireless devices to a wired environment. Increased
mobility and the absence of cabling will be beneficial for your network.
With using IEEE 802.11n wireless technology, your device can transmit wireless data at the rate of
up to 150Mbps. With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless
LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, WiFi protected Access (WPA2- PSK, WPA- PSK), the
TL-WA701ND 150Mbps Wireless N Access Point delivers complete data privacy. This device
leverages some 802.11n features to provide improved performance and coverage compared to
802.11a/g devices, and fully interoperates with 802.11n products if they are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED, but
it does not conform to all of the requirements in the IEEE specification and is not classified as "n"
in the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED program.
It supports an easy, web-based setup for installation and management. Even though you may not
be familiar with the Access Point, you can easily configure it with the help of this Guide. Before
installing the AP, please look through this Guide to get the full information of the TL-WA701ND
150Mbps Wireless N Access Point.
1.2 Conventions
The AP or TL-WA701ND, or device mentioned in this User guide stands for TL-WA701ND
150Mbps Wireless N Access Point without any explanations.
Parameters provided in the pictures are just references for setting up the product, which may differ
from the actual situation. You can set the parameters according to your demand.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Before You Begin
Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating
distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical
position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your
network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary base
on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.
For best performance of your wireless network, you are suggested to:
1). Avoid redundant obstacles and interference between the wireless devices.
2). Keep your AP away from appliances with a strong electric field or magnetic field, such as a
microwave oven or refrigerator.
Place the AP near the center of the area in which your computers operates.
2.2 Basic Requirements
z Use only the power adapter provided with your AP
z The electrical outlet shall be installed near the device and shall be easily accessible
z Place your AP in a well ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or heating vent
z Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat dissipation
z Turn off your AP and unplug the power adapter in a lighting storm to avoid damage
z Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, Netscape Navigator 6.0 or
above
z Operating temperature: 0℃~40℃ (32℉~104℉)
z Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing
2.3 Connecting the Device
Figure 2-1 is an example of the typical application of TL-WA701ND in the infrastructure network.
An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router.
