INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.
This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer, while providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires.
Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the Internet.
The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device.
This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings.
The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online games—the basis of the family computing lifestyle.
Applications:
Broadband Internet access:
Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection through wireless or wired (WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet).
Resource sharing:
Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.
File sharing:
Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space.
Online gaming:
Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily setup.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless Broadband Router.
Unpacking
Open the box of the Wireless Broadband Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:
TEW-432BRP Wireless Router
Multi-Language QIG
CD-ROM (User’s Guide)
External Power Adapter
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Wireless Broadband Router can be performed properly using the following methods:
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.
Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband Router.
Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Front Panel
The figure below shows the front panel of the Wireless Broadband Router.
TEW-432BRP Front Panel
POWER
This indicator lights green when the hub is receives power, otherwise it is off.
SYSTEM
This indicator blinks green means the Internet Broadband Router is working successful. Otherwise, this indicator always on or off means the function of the Internet Broadband Router is fail.
WAN (Link/ACT)
The indicators light green when the WAN port was connected to an xDSL/Cable modem successfully.
The indicators blink green while the WAN port was transmitting or receiving data on the xDSL/Cable modem.
WLAN (ACT)
This indicator lights green when there are wireless devices connected and transmitting data to the Wireless Router.
LAN (Link/ACT)
These indicators light green when the LAN ports were connected successfully. These indicators blink green while the LAN ports were transmitting data.
5
Rear Panel
The figure below shows the rear panel of the Wireless Broadband Router.
TEW-432BRP Rear Panel
Antenna
There are one 2 dBi Gain Antenna in the rear panel for wireless connection.
LAN (1-4)
Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet connections.
WAN
In the four port broadband router, there is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that will fit the xDSL/Cable modem’s specification need.
DC IN
Plug the power adapter to this power jack
RESET
Use a pin-shape item to push to reset this device to factory default settings. It will be useful too when the manager forgot the password to login, but the setting will be back to default setting.
6
Hardware connections
Connect the Router using LAN
1.Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the Wireless Internet Broadband Router.
2.Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or Cable modem.
3.Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer system; the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the Internet Broadband Router. Since the Wireless Broadband Router has four ports, you can connect up to four computers directly to the unit. There you do not have to buy a switch to connect these computers since one Internet Broadband Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.
Connect the Router using Wireless LAN
1.Plug in one end of the RJ45 network cable to the xDSL/Cable Modem.
2.Plug in the other end of the RJ45 network cable to the Wireless Internet Broadband Router WAN port.
