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.

WIRELESS PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.

1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle.

The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose.

2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a wireless

device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.

3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to

position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.

4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless adapter’s site

survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices.

5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal. Position

your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.

6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz

cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices.

If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage depending on the environment.

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 products range from 3-90 fe et (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.

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.

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:

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:

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.

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 S erver.

IP Address: The LAN address that you want to reserve. MAC Address: To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the

router's Web-Management interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button. A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the router from the computer and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button to enter the MAC address. Clear Re-initialize this area of the screen, discarding any changes you have made. DHCP Reservations List: This shows clients that you have specified to reserve DHCP addresses. Click the Enable checkbox at the left to directly activate or de-activate the entry. An entry can be changed by clicking the Edit icon or can be deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the "Edit DHCP Reservation" section is activated for editing.
