INTRODUCTION

300Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Gigabit Router The 300Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Gigabit Router (model TEW-673GRU)

delivers unsurpassed Dual Band wireless speed, coverage, and reliability with up to 14x the speed and 6x the coverage of a wireless g connection*.

Dual Band technology creates two separate 300Mbps wireless n networks at the same time—one on the 2.4GHz frequency and the other on the less congested 5GHz frequency. A color LCD management interface provides real time performance, security, and device information thereby reducing the need to login to the router.

Share content by connecting USB flash drives, hard drives, or printers directly to two USB ports on the back of the router. Gigabit Ethernet ports offer exceptional wired throughput performance. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology reduces wireless dead spots, advanced wireless encryption protects your digital content, and WMM® Quality of Service (QoS) technology prioritizes gaming, Internet calls, and video streams. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) connects WPS compliant computers at the touch of a button. Wirelessly stream HD multimedia using the uncongested 5GHz frequency while surfing the Internet using the 2.4GHz frequency.

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:

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the IEEE 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port.

Unpacking

Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:

 TEW-673GRU 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port  CD ROM (Utility/User’s Guide)  Multi-Language Quick Installation Guide  2 x 3dBi gain dipole antenna  Power Adapter (12V DC, 2A)  Cat. 5 Ethernet Cable (1.5m/5ft)

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Setup

The setup of the WLAN 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 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.

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.
