Installation

Placement of the AP is very important. Do not place the AP in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

Wireless Performance Considerations

The wireless AP allows you to access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.

WPS LED Wireless LAN LED

LAN LEDs

Power LED

• WPS LED – This indicator is turned on and blinks when WPS is activated. The LED will turn off automatically once WPS is completed.

• Wireless LAN LED – This indicator lights on when the link is established. The indicator blinks when there is data transmission.

However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the AP and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless APs, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Hardware Installation

1. Position your AP close to your computer. Place the AP in an open area of your intended work area for better wireless coverage.

2. Plug one end of the included blue Ethernet cable that came with your AP into one of the four Ethernet ports on the back of the AP. Plug the other end of this cable into the Ethernet port of your PC.

3. Connect the supplied power adapter into the power port on the back of the AP and then plug it into a power outlet or surge protector. Press the power button and verify that the power LED is lit. Allow 1 minute for the AP to boot up.

Configuration

1. Open your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera) and go to http://192.168.10.100. Your AP will prompt you for a user name and password.

2. When entering the user interface at the first time, the AP requests the user to change the password. It is highly recommended to change to a new password. Enter the new password in the Password and Verify Password field, and click Next. If the user does not change the password, the default password is admin.

3. The window displays the wireless settings of the AP. The user can print out or write down the information for Wi-Fi settings. Click Save to implement the changes and continue.

4. The AP is saving the settings.

5. After first-time, you will see the following login window when log in the AP. Enter the default user name and password and then click Login. If you changed the password in first-time login, enter the new password you set.

Default User Name: admin Default Password: admin

6. The main window appears. You can configure the AP by using the Setup Wizard or detail manual configuration.

Main > Wizard

The wizard displays the information of wireless connection. Click Exit to finish the configuration.

Main > LAN

This window allows you to configure the local network settings and DHCP settings.

TEW750DAP

LAN Connection Type My LAN Connection is: Use the drop-down list to select the LAN connection

type. The available types are Static IP and Dynamic IP (DHCP).

When selecting Static IP, the user need to manually configure the AP’s network settings. When selecting Dynamic IP (DHCP), the AP will automatically obtain the network settings from an existing DHCP server on the network.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

LAN Connection Type – Static IP

After selecting Static IP from the My LAN Connection is drop-down list, the following parameters will be available to be configured.

IP Address: Enter the IP address of the AP. This IP address must be within your local network address range.

Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask of the AP. Default Gateway: Enter the Gateway IP address. This is normally the local IP

address of the Internet gateway within the network. Primary DNS Server: Enter the primary Domain Name System (DNS) server IP

address that is supplied by your ISP. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the secondary DNS server IP address that is

supplied by your ISP.

DHCP Server Settings Enable DHCP Server: When enabling this feature, the AP will host the DHCP

server on the network. DHCP IP Address Range: Enter the starting and ending IP address for the

DHCP server’s IP assignment.

Default Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the IP address. Default Gateway: Enter the default gateway for DHCP server. Default WINS: Enter the default Windows Internet Name Servers (WINS)

address.

Default DNS: Enter the default DNS server address. DHCP Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the time in

minutes. Always Broadcast: If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP

addresses from the router’s DHCP server as expected, this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the router’s DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets.

Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN.

Add DHCP Reservation Enable: Tick the check box to enable the reservation. Computer Name: Enter the computer name or select from the drop-down menu

and click <<.
