2. Hardware Installation
Note:
1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to quickly connect to your wireless router or
access point. If you would like to use WPS push button setup, please go directly to
section 4. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Push Button Setup. If your wireless router or
access point does not support WPS, continue on to step 1.
2. Do not connect/install the TEW-687GA to your network until instructed to do so. Make
sure your computer's network adapter settings are set to obtain an IP address
automatically (see troubleshooting section).
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 network
cable to the TEW-687GA's LAN port. Connect
the other end of the cable to your computer's
network port. Then boot up your computer.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the TEW-687GA
and then to a power outlet. (EU versions will
have a power button on the back. Push the
power button to the “On” position). Wait 30
seconds for the TEW-687GA to boot up.

automatically obtain an IP address from your
DHCP server (router).
If Static IP address is selected you would need
to configure the following:
IP address: The assigned IP address should
match your network. This IP address should
not be used by any other network device on
your network.
Subnet Mask: In most cases, the default
Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0) should be fine.
Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of your
router for the Default Gateway.
Then click Next.
Note: It is recommended to manually configure
the LAN Interface Settings (IP address, Subnet
Mask, Default Gateway) in case you need to
access the device in the future. Please write
down the IP settings for future reference.
