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 “

Wireless Networking and Security

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.

Connect wireless devices to your router

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.

• Wireless Module

o Enabled turns on the wireless networking on your router (by default it is

enabled).

o Disabled turns off wireless networking on your router.

Note: It is recommended to leave the wireless setting to Enabled unless you do not plan on connecting any wireless computers or devices to your network.

• Network (SSID): This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the name of

your wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from others around you. By default, the router broadcast TRENDnet716 as the wireless network name. If you choose to change the SSID, change it to a name that you can easily remember.

• SSID Broadcast

o Enabled allows wireless devices to search and discover your wireless network

name (also called SSID) broadcasted by your router.

o Disabled turns off the ability for wireless devices to find your network. It is

still possible for wireless devices to be configured to connect to your wireless network.

• Channel: Select Auto to have the router automatically pick the clearest channel

available. Or you can manually set the channel on which the router will broadcast, uncheck Auto, then click the drop-down list and select the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the Channel that is least used by neighboring wireless networks.

• Wirless Mode: Select the appropriate mode for your network.

o 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n mixed mode – Select this mode for the best

compatibility. This mode allows older 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices to connect to the router in addition to newer 802.11n devices.

o 2.4GHz 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).

o 2.4GHz 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.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity

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.

Add static routes to your router

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 example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network to access the other network.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking knowledge.

1. Log into your router management page (see “ on page 18).

• Subnet Mask – Enter the subnet mask of the destination network for the route.

(e.g. 255.255.255.0)

• Gateway – Enter the gateway to the destination network for the route.

(e.g. 192.168.10.2)

• Hop – Enter the number of hops (routers) required to reach the destination

network. The hop count range that can be specified is 0-99.

• Enable – Check the option to enable the route and uncheck the option to disable

the route.
