TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-735AP

Wireless Performance Considerations

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Adjust the wireless power setting on your AP if you have more than one AP covering a large area. Covering only the neighbor hop APs in wireless range is a good design. Covering more than neighbor APs will experience wireless interference and slow down the communication.

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.

Operation Modes

There are four operating modes provided by the TEW-735AP, Access Point, WDS Bridge, WDS, AP, and Universal Repeater. Configure the TEW735AP to different operation modes which best serve your network needs.

Access Point

This is the default operation mode. The TEW-735AP services wireless end points in this mode. You can setup local or remote wireless authentication, setup up to 4 sets of SSID and separation of SSID or STA traffic can be configured.

WDS Bridge

When WDS mode is selected, the TEW735AP functions as a wireless bridge and is able to wirelessly communicate to other WDS bridges to make a wireless backbone. A WDS link is bidirectional; both end points must support WDS and each access point must know the MAC Address of the other. Each access point will be configured with the remote access

point’s MAC address and vice versa. Make sure all access points are

configured with the same SSID, wireless channel and wireless encryption settings.

Universal Repeater

When Repeater Mode is selected, the TEW-735AP functions as a wireless repeater and is able to repeat the wireless signal of an access point. This feature is used to expand your existing wireless network to areas your current access point is unable to reach. Make sure all the settings of the TEW-735AP match the wireless access points you want to repeat, including the SSID, channel, and wireless encryption settings.

WDS AP

This is a hybrid mode. The TEW735AP can be set as a WDS bridge and as an access point at the same time.

System Management and Default Settings

If you have a brand new TEW-735AP, or if you just reset the TEW-735AP to factory defaults by pressing and holding reset button for over 10 seconds, your TEW-735AP has following settings:

Logging-in to the TEW-735AP for the First Time

1. Power on your TEW-735AP by connecting an network cable to a PoE

switch or by plugging-in the power adapter that comes with the package. The power LED will turn on.

2. Search for available wireless connections in your computer’s network

settings. The default SSID of the TEW-735AP is shown on the preset label. The default wireless security settings are set to WPA2 and the passphrase is printed on the device label as well.

Or, connect a network cable from your computer to the TEW-735AP network port.

3. Open a web browser and enter http://tew-735ap to access the

administration page.

If you have a static IP set on your PC, please open a web browser and then enter http://192.168.10.100 The TEW-735AP login page will show up.

4. Change your administration login password away from the factory

default setting and then click Apply to continue.

5. TEW-735AP will apply the password change and then reboot. Login

again with your new password.

* If you connected to the TEW-735AP wirelessly, please make sure you are still connecting to the TEW-735AP after it reboot.

Enter the administrator login information (The default user name is admin and the password is admin)

* Please reference the troubleshooting section if you cannot access the administration web page.

Setup Wizard

The setup wizard is provided as part of the web configuration utility. It assists in the basic setup of the administrator password and management IP address. Click the Wizard button in the System menu to access the setup wizard. The following screen will appear. Enter a new administrator password and then click Next to continue.

Enter the management IP address for the TEW-735AP. The default IP address is 192.168.10.100. Assign a unique IP address within the management subnet. The management subnet. You can leave it on default if you have only one TEW-735AP, but you have to change the IP address if you have more than one TEW-735AP.

Click Apply to save the changes and reboot the TEW-735AP.
