Wireless LAN Networking

This section provides background information on wireless LAN networking technology. Consult
the Glossary for definitions of the terminology used in this section.

T

HE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. CHANGING

NETWORK SETTINGS AND PARTICULARLY SECURITY SETTTINGS SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED ADMINISTRATOR.

Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate)

The TEW-815DAP provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most
networking scenarios, the factory default Best (automatic) setting proves the most efficient. This
setting allows your TEW-815DAP to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the
communication quality drops below a certain level, the TEW-815DAP automatically switches to a
lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable.
However, when the communication quality improves again, the TEW-815DAP gradually increases
the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available transmission rate.

Types of Wireless Networks

Wireless LAN networking works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. In infra­structure mode, wireless devices communicate to a wired LAN via access points. Each access
point and its wireless devices are known as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set
(ESS) is two or more BSSs in the same subnet. In ad hoc mode (also known as peer-to-peer
mode), wireless devices communicate with each other directly and do not use an access point.
This is an Independent BSS (IBSS).

To connect to a wired network within a coverage area using access points, set the operation mode to
Infrastructure (BSS). To set up an independent wireless workgroup without an access point, use
Ad-hoc (IBSS) mode.

A

D-H OC (IBSS) NETWORK

Ad-hoc mode does not require an access point or a wired network. Two or more wireless stations
communicate directly to each other. An ad-hoc network may sometimes be referred to as an
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).

To set up an ad-hoc network, configure all the stations in ad-hoc mode. Use the same SSID and
channel for each station.

10

When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single access point, you have a Basic
Service Set (BSS).

In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay data
packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations can
then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.

In an ESS environment, users are able to move from one access point to another without losing the

11

connection. In the diagram below, when the user moves from BSS (1) to BSS (2) the WLAN client
devices automatically switches to the channel used in BSS (2).

Introduction

The TEW-815DAP 802.11ac (draft 2.0)3x3 Gigabit Wireless Access Point is an high-performance,
wireless Access Point that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in
public places.

Unlike most Access Points, the TEW-815DAP provides data transfers at up to 867Mbps when using

11AC connection. This Access Point is also back compatible with 802.11n or 802.11g or 11b

devices. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You
may sacrifice some of 11ac’s speed when you mix 11ac /11n and 11b/g devices, but you will not
lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 11ac standard into your 11b/g/n network.
You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 11b/g/n devices with 11ac
devices.

Installation Considerations

The TEW-815DAP 802.11ac(draft 2.0)3X3 Gigabit Wireless Access Point lets you access your network,
using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however,
that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must
pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless
range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TEW-815DAP and other network devices to

a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet
(1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2 Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a

45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over
42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or
ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3 Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may

have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless
adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

4 Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances

that generate extreme RF noise.
