2. 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-639GR 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-639GR to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the communication quality drops
below a certain level, the TEW-639GR 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-639GR gradually increases the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the
highest available transmission rate.

2.1 Introduction

The TEW-639GR 2.4GHz 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router is an high-performance, wireless router that
supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.

Unlike most routers, the TEW-639GR provides data transfers at up to 300Mbps when using 11n connection.
This router is also back compatible with 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 11n’s speed when you mix
11n and 11b/g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 11n
standard into your 11b/g network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing
the 11b/g devices with 11n devices.

3.3 Installation Considerations

The TEW-639GR 2.4GHz Wireless N Gigabit Router 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-639GR 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.

3.4 Getting Started

For a typical wireless setup at home, please do the following:

1. You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or
office)

2. Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.

3. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the TEW-639GR Wireless Broadband Router (WAN
port).

4. Ethernet LAN ports of the TEW-639GR are Auto MDI/MDIX and will work with both
Straight-Through and Cross-Over cable.

11

4. Using the Configuration Menu

Whenever you want to configure your TEW-639GR, you can access the Configuration Menu through
your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the TEW-639GR. The
TEW-639GR’s default IP Address is http://192.168.10.1

¾ Open the Web browser.
¾ Type in the IP Address of the Router (http://192.168.10.1

)

If you have changed the default IP Address assigned to the TEW-639GR, make sure to
enter the correct IP Address.

¾ Select admin in the User Name field.
¾ Leave the Password blank.
¾ Click Login In.

4.1 Network

4.1.1 Network: WAN Setting

WAN Connection Type

There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP,
and Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet
Service Provider. Static
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet
Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with
all of this information.

DHCP

A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one
from the ISP's server.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies
your system to the ISP's server.

PPPoE

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet) connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection
requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider)
to gain access to the Internet.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:

Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect

button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.

13

Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is

disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.

L2TP

L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP.
This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your
Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
L2TP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be
the same as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:

Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect

button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.

WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the
values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask ,
Default Gateway.
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,

select this option.

PPTP

PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP.
This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you
to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain
access to the Internet.
PPTP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be
the same as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:

Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect

button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.

WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the
values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask ,
Default Gateway, and optional for DNS Server
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,

select this option.

Russia PPTP

The Russia PPTP can configure IP address on the WAN interface and establish PPTP to get
IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for ANOTHER logical IP interface on WAN
port. So the physical WAN port will have 2 logical IP interfaces and can communicate with
internal ISP’s network resources and also communicate with Internet through PPTP tunnel. It is
specified by Russia Cobrina ISP, user can configure it the same as the normal PPTP and
PPTP server IP Address can use the domain name string.

WAN MTU Setting

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size
(in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router
will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the
connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492
bytes for a PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented
downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily
and in extreme cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network
performance can suffer. t modes.

MAC Address Clone

Each networking device has it's own unique MAC address defined by the hardware
manufacturer. Some ISP's may check your computer's MAC address. Some ISP's record the
MAC address of the network adapter in the computer or router used to initially connect to their
service. The ISP will then only grant Internet access to requests from a computer or router with
this particular MAC address. This router has a different MAC address than the computer or
router that initially connected to the ISP. If you need to change the MAC address of the
rounter's WAN-side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example,
the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or copy the MAC address of a PC.
To copy the MAC address of the computer that initially connected to the ISP, connect to the
router using that computer and click the Clone Your PC's MAC Address button. The WAN
interface will then use the MAC address of the network adapter in your computer.

4.1.2 Network: LAN Setting

IP Address

The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in
the range of IP addresses available for the LAN.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the local area network.

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you
configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices
on your local area network (LAN).

Enable DHCP Server

Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will
manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other
devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.
The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP
configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically". When you set Enable
DHCP Server, the following options are displayed.

DHCP IP Address Range

These two IP values (Start and End) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server
uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any
addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could,
therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain
network address details automatically.
It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does
reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved, so that the DHCP Server
knows that this specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device.
Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.10.1. This means that addresses

192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the local area network.

Gateway

The IP address of the router on the local area network. For example, 192.168.10.1.

DHCP Lease Time

The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the
lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates
the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when
the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no
longer needed than another tenant may use the address.

Add/Edit DHCP Reservation

This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network
device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the
same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP
address from the router. The router will provide the device the same IP address every time.
DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting
applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP
address or use this option.

Computer Name

You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help
you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server.

IP Address:

The LAN address that you want to reserve.
