Getting Started

Application Diagram

Quick Reference

Note: By default, the wireless network name/SSID and wireless encryption settings have

been pre-configured for your convenience and can be located on the included preset wireless settings sticker or on the device label located on the back of the access point. By default, the access point web management configuration page can be accessed using the URL http://tew-826dap or using the default LAN IP address http://192.168.10.100. At default settings and initial setup, if the access point is connected to a network with a DHCP server providing IP address settings automatically, the access point will obtain IP address settings from the network DHCP server and if no DHCP server is available, the access point will use the default IP address settings 192.168.10.100 / 255.255.255.0.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

TEW-826DAP

Basic Setup

Note: It is strongly recommended to configure the access point first before mounting.

For a typical wireless setup at home or office when using the access point in AP mode, please do the following:

1. Connect the power adapter to the power port of the access point. Or simply

plug an Ethernet cable on the access point to a PoE+ (Power over Ethernet+) switch that connects to your router or network.

a. If using the power adapter, plug an Ethernet cable to either LAN1 or

LAN2 on the access point and plug the other end to your access point or network, and then depress the Power button

2. The PWR, 5GHz1, 5GHz2, 2.4GHz, and the LAN (whichever is used to connect to

the network) LEDs will all turn on to indicate that the access point is ready.

3. For your security, each TEW-826DAP comes pre-encrypted with a unique WiFi

Name (SSID) and WiFi Password. You can find your device's SSID and WiFi password on the white labels located on the device. Use this information to connect to the TEW-826DAP access point.

4. Verify your connection to you network by accessing the Internet. For advanced

configuration continue to the advanced sections of the user manual. (see “Access the management page” on page 8)

TEW-826DAP

Hardware Installation

To mount the access point, first route the network cable through the largest opening in the mounting plate and install the mounting plate to the desired wall or ceiling using the included drywall anchors and screws. Install the mounting plate with the clips facing away from the wall or ceiling. If wall mounting, install the mounting plate with the correct orientation. After the mounting plate is properly installed, connect the network cable to the network LAN1 port of the access point, align the access point mounting holes with the mounting plate clips and rotate the access point clockwise to lock into place. Finally, install the cable guard by sliding it onto the mounting plate until it locks into place.

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 access point near the center of your

home, and near the ceiling, if possible.

b. Avoid placing the access point 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 access point and the wireless device, the better.

d. Place the access point in a location away from other electronics, motors, and

fluorescent lighting.

e. Many environmental variables can affect the access point’s performance, so if your

wireless signal is weak, place the access point 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.

Connect wireless devices to your access point

A variety of wireless network devices can connect to your wireless network such as:

 Gaming Consoles  Internet enabled TVs  Network media players  Smart Phones  Wireless Laptop computers  Wireless IP cameras

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 access point’s wireless network.

See the “Appendix” on page 62 for general information on connecting to a wireless network.

 Access Point: In this mode, the device creates a wireless network to your

existing network.

 Client Bridge: Select this mode to allow the access point the ability to

wireless connect to your wireless network. This is similar to a wireless laptop or mobile device connecting to a wireless network.

 WDS Access Point: In the mode, the access point connects to other WDS

bridge enable devices for backbone communication and provides wireless connection to clients (STAs) at the same time.

 WDS Bridge: When this mode is selected the access point connects ONLY

to other WDS bridge enabled devices and local networks (the other wireless interface and Ethernet interface) as a wireless backbone bridge.

 WDS Station: The wireless interface connects to other WDS bridge enabled

devices for backbone communication and connects to other wireless access points at the same time. Use this mode to pair with the next hop access point as a WDS network outlet.

 Note: Please note that only one bridge can be set up on 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz

band, but not both.

 Repeater: In this mode, the wireless interface repeats wireless signal and

packets for backbone communication as well as a client access. This feature is used to expand your existing wireless network to areas that your current access point is unable to reach. Make sure all of the settings of the wireless interface matches to your root or connecting wireless access points, same SSID, channel and wireless encryption settings.

The captive portal feature allows you to provide customized authentication typically for public WiFi users and guest user authentication. Captive Portal authentication for WiFi is typically used in areas such as hotel lobbies, airports, coffee shops and other WiFi hot spots. The access points supports both captive portal authentication through the built-in user account database and basic portal customization or CoovaChilli which is an opensource implementation of captive portal (UAM) function and 802.1X RADIUS (please note CoovaChilli requires an external CoovaChilli server which must be preconfigured to work and authenticate requests through the access point). You may want to disable standard WiFi security methods on the selected SSIDs such as WEP/WPA/WPA2 in order to use the captive portal authentication method instead. Before applying captive portal functionality to select wireless profiles, the captive portal type must be configured first along with all required parameters.

Select the captive portal mode:

 Internal Captive Portal – This mode allows you to authenticate requests

through the built-in user account database and apply basic customization to the captive port user login page. This option is recommended and does not require an external authentication server.

 Redirect URL – This mode requires no authentication and allows

redirection of users to a specific website/URL.

 Captive Portal with RADIUS (CoovaChilli) – This mode requires an

external CoovaChilli server to be configured to provide the captive portal user login page and authenticate request through the access point.
