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).

Note: The TEW-718BRM/TEW-718BRM5 is a combination DSL modem and router, therefore, you do not require a separate DSL modem from your ISP when setting up this product.

• 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 Network 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 a 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. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.

3. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network, see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 11.

4. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security” on page 12.

How to setup your router

Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “Router Installation” on page 6 for more detailed installation instructions.

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

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 / WPA2: 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.

TEW-718BRM

• 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

Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless appliances

to verify the highest level of encryption supported.

Connect wireless devices using WPS

Setup > Wireless Settings > WPS Setup

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. The WLAN LED on your modem router will flash rapidly indicating that the WPS setup process has been activated. (See “Product Hardware Features” on page 2

For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each additional device.

PBC (Software/Virtual Push Button)

Setup > Wireless Settings > WPS Setup

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.

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

is enabled).

o Disable turns off wireless networking on your router.

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

• SSID Broadcast

o Enable allows wireless devices to search and discover your wireless

network name (also called SSID) broadcasted by your router.

o Disable 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.

Note: Setting this option to Disable, will disable WPS functionality.

• Channel – In North America, this router can broadcast on 1 of 11 Channels (13

in Europe and other countries). Selecting the Auto option enables the router to

automatically select the best Channel for wireless communication. To manually

set the channel on which the router will broadcast, 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.

• 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 TRENDnet718 as the wireless network name. If you choose to change the SSID, change it to a name that you can easily remember.

• Wireless Mode - Select the appropriate mode for your network.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

o B/G/N mixed – 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 B/G mixed – 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 N only – 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.

o G only – This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using

older and slow 802.11g technology (typically not recommended).

o B only – This mode only allows devices to connect to the router using

older and slow 802.11b technology (typically not recommended).

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 (B/G/N mixed) for the best compatibility.

When applying the 802.11 mode setting, please keep in mind the following:

• Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can

connect wirelessly at 802.11g or 802.11b.

• Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n

supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates.

• Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g devices to connect to an 802.11n capable wireless

network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher performance and data rates of 802.11n.

• Wireless devices that only support 802.11b or 802.11g will not be able to

connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode.

• Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a

wireless network that is set to 802.11g only mode.

• Bandwidth – This setting only applies to wireless devices connecting at

802.11n. Another term used to describe this parameter is Channel Width. Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network.

o 20 MHz – This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for

wireless devices connecting at 802.11n. This setting may provide more

stability than Auto 20/40 MHz for connectivity in busy wireless

environments where there are several wireless networks in the area.

o Auto 20 MHz/40 MHz – This mode can automatically switch between

using a single 20MHz channel or 40MHz (two 20MHz channels). When

40MHz is active, this mode is capable of providing higher performance

only if the wireless devices support the 40MHz channel width.

Enabling 20/40MHz typically results in substantial performance

increases when connecting to an 802.11n client.

• Wireless Client List – Clicking on the Wireless Client List button at the bottom

of the page will display a list of wireless clients that are currently connected to

your modem router.

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.

Advanced wireless settings

Setup > Wireless Settings

The advanced wireless features can provide you with additional options for setting up your wireless network such as multiple SSID, activate/deactivate wireless according to schedule, and operation modes such as WDS (Wireless Distribution System) bridging or wireless bridging.

Multiple SSID

Setup > Wireless Settings

The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to two additional SSIDs (or wireless network names). To wireless devices searching for available wireless networks to connect to, the SSIDs (or wireless network names) will appear as separate and different wireless networks. Since they appear as separate wireless networks, they are also referred to as virtual APs (Access Points). Each virtual AP can be configured each with a different SSID (or wireless network name), security type and additional settings for wireless devices to connect. You can use the multiple SSID feature to setup guest wireless accounts with a different security type to keep your primary wireless network security information private. In addition, the SSIDs can be mapped to a specified VLAN ID. See the VLAN section for instructions on assigning VLAN IDs to the SSIDs.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 35

2. Click on Setup, and click on Wireless Settings.

3. Click the AP Number drop-down list to select which SSID settings you would like to configure.

Note: The primary SSID is AP1 and is enabled by default.

4. Check the Enable option the selected SSID.

5. Enter the Network ID (SSID) (or wireless network name) to assign to the secondary SSID.

Note: If enabling the secondary SSID AP2, it is strongly recommended to assign an SSID that is different from the primary SSID AP1, so it can easily identifiable when searching for wireless networks.

6. Select Enable to allow wireless devices to search and discover the SSID (or wireless

network name) of the selected SSID. Disable turns off the ability for wireless devices to find your SSID (or wireless network name) of the selected virtual AP when scanning for available wireless networks. It is still possible for wireless client devices to be manually configured to connect to the selected SSID even if the SSID broadcast is disabled.

7. Configure the wireless security for the selected SSID. See “Securing your wireless network” for details on configuring wireless security.

Clone a MAC address

Setup > Internet Setup

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.

Note: For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s User Guide/Manual or contact your ISP.

Using VLANs

Advanced > VLAN

You may want set up VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to separate your network into groups in order to isolate/restrict network traffic, reduce the congestion of traffic in one large network, or expand the physical boundaries of one local LAN network. The primary applications of VLAN and this device would be IPTV applications where ISP can bridge the WAN and one or more LAN ports together to improve IPTV service compatibility and performance from the ISP or separating wireless network access based on SSID and assigned VLAN mapping.

Note: This device does not support Inter-VLAN Layer 3 routing (does not support multiple IP interfaces). This device only supports Layer 2 based VLAN where traffic can be forwarded based on PVID (Port VLAN ID) and VID (VLAN ID) tags or identifiers. You would require an additional network router or Layer 3 device that supports inter-VLAN routing.

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

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 35

2. Click on Advanced, and click on VLAN.

3. Under VID columns, enter the VID settings. (Range: 1~4094)

Note: The default VID is 1 which is the primary LAN IP interface setting. Initially, all ports and SSIDs are assigned VID 1 which puts all interfaces in the same LAN network. It strongly recommended to keep at least one wired LAN port in VID 1 for management purposes. If VID 1 is removed, the router management page will no longer be accessible through the LAN IP address.

4. Check the Tx TAG options for the selected interfaces to add the VID tag information to incoming and outgoing traffic.

5. To save changes, click Apply.

Note: In addition, the WAN VLAN interface settings can be configured by clicking WAN VLAN Settings button at the bottom of the page.

Below is an example diagram of two separate networks created using 2 VLANs assigned to each SSID and LAN port 1 and 2 communicating independently.

Add static routes to your router

Advanced > Static Route

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, static 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.

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

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 35

2. Click on Advanced, and click on Static Route.

3. Next to Static Routing, check the Enable option to enable static routing.

3. Review the static route settings.

(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.
