Basic Router Setup
Creating a Home Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
•Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
• Router – Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
• Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your router
has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network
devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an additional
switch to add more wired connections.
How to set up a home network
1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:
• Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless
networking capabilities.
• A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem
typically supplied by your ISP).
• A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.
2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your
modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.
3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.
4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,
see “
Connect wireless devices to your router” on page 11.
5. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “
page 10.
How to setup your router
Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “

How to choose the type of security for your wireless network
Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and
unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet
recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your
new router.
There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each
having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network
taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength
along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).
It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from
accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).
In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest
strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your
network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for
your network.
Wireless Encryption Types
•WEP: Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11b/g hardware. This is
the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not
recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11 b or
802.11g wireless adapters or computers with old embedded wireless cards(wireless
clients), you may have to set your router to WEP to allow the old adapters to
connect to the router. Note: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to
54Mbps.
•WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much
of the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades)
to support this encryption standard. Total wireless speeds under this encryption
type however are limited to 54Mbps.
•WPA-Auto: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect wireless
devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will
automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device
connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless
network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only
when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2
encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.
NOTE: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit
your connection speeds to 54Mbps
•WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA
encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest
connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this encryption
standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support
WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto encryption.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported.
Below is brief comparison chart of the wireless security types and the
recommended configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless
network.

Selecting WPA, WPA-Auto, or WPA2 (WPA2 recommended):
o Choose a key index 1, 2, 3, or 4 and enter the key.
o When connecting to the router, the client must match both the password
and the Key number. (e.g. if you have activated Key 2 with a password of
12345, then the client must select: Key 2 (entering Key 1, 3, or 4 will block
the ability to connect) and enter password 12345)

First, from the Authentication Type row, select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-
• Authentication:Choose Open, Shared or Auto.
Note: It is recommended to use Open System because it is known to be more
secure than Shared Key.
A variety of wireless network devices can connect to your wireless network such as:
• Smart Phones
• Wireless Laptop computers
Each device may have its own software utility for searching and connecting to available
wireless networks, therefore, you must refer to the User’s Manual/Guide of your
wireless client device to determine how to search and connect to this router’s wireless
network.
Connect wireless devices using WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to
easily add wireless devices to your network.
Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) method o RECOMMENDED Hardware Push Button method–with an external button
located physically on your router and on your client device
o WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in router management page
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in router management
page
Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation of
WPS.
Recommended Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method
• Note it is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created
before connecting clients using the PBC method. If no wireless key is defined
when connecting via PBC, the router will automatically create an encryption key
that is 64 characters long. This 64 character key will then have to be used if one
has to connect computers to the router using the traditional connection method.
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless
device you are connecting(consult client device User’s Guide for length of time), then
push and hold the WPS button located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. A
blue LED on your router WPS button will flash indicating that the WPS setup process has
been activated on your router. (See “
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each
additional device.
In addition to the hardware push button located physically on your router, the router
management page also has push button which is a software or virtual push button you
can click to activate WPS on your router.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
on page 18).
2. Click on Basic Settings, Wireless, and click on WPS Setup in the bottom.
3. To add a wireless device to your network, simply the push the WPS button on the
wireless device (consult wireless device’s User’s Guide for length of time), you are
connecting, then in your router management page next to Config Method, select
Push Button, click Trigger to start WPS authentication.
3. Next to Config Method select PIN Code, enter the WPS PIN of the wireless device you
are connecting and click Trigger.

to connect to the router in addition to newer 802.11n devices.
o2.4GHz 802.11b/g mixed mode – This mode only allows devices to connect
to the router using older and slow 802.11b or 802.11g technology and it
thereby reduces the router’s maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not
recommended).
o2.4GHz 802.11n only mode – This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices
to connect to your router. This mode does ensure the highest speed and
security for your network, however if you have older 802.11g wireless clients,
they will no longer be able to connect to this router.
•Encryption: Select the wireless security you would like to apply to your router.
Please refer to
Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest wireless
capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are unsure, it is
recommended that you keep the default setting (2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n mixed mode) for
the best compatibility.
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. 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.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your home,
and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and metal
furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so
the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the better.
d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and
fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so if your
wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal
strength to determine the ideal position.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n. If a wirelessly networked device uses an older
standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower. If you are still
experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing
additional access points.

Identify your network on the Internet
Advanced Setting > Dynamic DNS
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on
your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet
requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your
ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify
your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and
other devices on your local area network.
Note: First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in
the Server Address drop-down list.
1. Sign up for one of the DDNS available service providers list under Server Address.
(e.g. dyndns.com, no-ip.com, etc.)
2. Log into your router management page (see “

Open a device on your network to the Internet
This router can provide access to devices on your local area network to the Internet
using the Virtual Server, Special Application, method (DMZ NOT recommended).
DMZ
Forwarding Rules >Miscellaneous
You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network to the Internet
to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature
that makes all the ports and services available on the WAN/Internet side of the router
and forwards them to a single IP address (computer or network device) on your
network. The DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet however,
it is a very insecure technology and will open local area network to greater threats from
Internet attacks.
It is strongly recommended to use Virtual Server (also called port forwarding, see
Virtual Server” on page 24) to allow access to your computers or network devices from
“
the Internet.
1. Make the computer or network device (for which you are establishing a DMZ link) has
a static IP address (or you can use the DHCP reservation feature to ensure the device
has a fixed IP address) (see “
A. Signing up for a Dynamic DNS service (outlined in the DDNS section) will
provide identification of the router’s network from the Internet.
2. Log into your router management page (see “
on page 18).

Special Applications
Forwarding Rules > Special AP
Special applications (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming
applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several
ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a
device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will
forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on
your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently
use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow
access for applications. See “
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device
supports UPnP first, before configuring this feature.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

Advanced Setting > Routing
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to
other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be
determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for
the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another
network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate
between the two separate networks, routing needs to be configured. Below is an
