Introduction
TEW-653AP is a powerful and multi-functioned 11n Access Point and it can act three modes
AP/WDS/Universal Repeater. Smoke detector appearance will minimize visibility. So this model can
work properly at Hotel or public area.
TEW-653AP is a Wireless Network device that delivers up to 6x faster speeds and 7x extended
coverage than 802.11g devices. Product’s RF performance is finely tuned so it will bring best
wireless signal for each client. TEW-653AP supports home network with superior throughput,
performance and unparalleled wireless range. To protect data during wireless transmissions,
TEW-653AP encrypts all wireless transmissions through WEP data encryption and supports
WPA/WPA2. Its MAC address filter allows users to select stations with access to connect network.
TEW-653AP thus is the best product to ensure network quality for hotspots.

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.

Hardware Installation
Front Panel
The image below shows the front panel of the TEW-653AP
Reset Button: This button will reset the TEW-653AP to its factory default settings. To do this,
press and hold the Reset button for 10seconds.
Power LED: On - Power on
Off - No Power
LAN LED: On - The LAN port is active
Off- No active connection on the LAN port.
Flashing – Data is being transmitted or received on the LAN port
WLAN LED: Flashing – Data is being transmitted or received through the wireless access point
Rear Panel
The image below shows the rear panel of the TEW-653AP
Power Port: Connect the supplied power adapter here, power port is not required when using PoE
port.
RJ-45/PoE Port: Plug standard LAN cables (RJ45 connectors) to connect into a network or to a
PoE powering device.
1 Place the unit in an appropriate place after conducting a site survey.
2 Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port on the rear panel of the device and
another end into your PC/Notebook.
3 Insert the DC-inlet of the power adapter into the port labeled “DC-IN” and the other end into the
power socket on the wall.
Mounting Installation
1 Use the mounting plate as a template and mark the wall or ceiling
for the correct screw position
2 Drill holes for the screws at the marked positions.
3 Align the TEW-653AP with the mounting plate
4 Follow the arrow to secure the TEW-653AP to the mounting
plate
Modes
You are allowed to configure TEW-653AP into different modes: AP, WDS Bridge and Repeater.
AP/WDS/Universal Repeater
Access Point
In AP (Access Point) mode, your device acts as a communication hub for users with a wireless
device to connect to a wired LAN/WAN.
WDS Bridge
You can only connect to the device via Ethernet Port
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows AP to communicate with one another wirelessly. This
capability is critical in providing a seamless experience for roaming clients and for managing
multiple wireless networks.
Repeater
Repeater is used to regenerate or replicate signals that are weakened or distorted by transmission
over long distances and through areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Repeater (AP) mode on one radio channel is usually configured along with Universal (STA) mode
on AP channel.
Using the Web Browser
1. Open Internet Explorer 5.0 or above Internet browser.
