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 additional wired devices to your network” on page 9.

5. To set up wireless security on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security” on page 18.

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.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

TEW-827DRU

 Frequency (Channel) – Selecting the AutoSelect option will set your router to scan

for the appropriate wireless channel to use automatically. 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.

 Channel Width: Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network.

This setting only applies to 802.11n and 802.11ac. For greater 802.11n performance, select Auto 20/40MHz (Options: 20MHz or Auto 20/40MHz). It is recommended to use the default channel bandwidth settings. For greater 802.11ac performance, select Auto 20/40/80MHz (Options: 20MHz, Auto 20/40MHz, Auto 20/40/80MHz). It is recommended to use the default channel width settings.

Note: Please note that the default settings may provide more stability than the higher channel bandwidth settings such as Auto 20/40/80MHz for connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area.

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

wireless devices connecting at 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This setting may provide more stability than 20/40MHz (Auto) for connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several neighboring wireless networks in the area.

o Auto 20/40MHz (11n) or Auto 20/40/80MHz (11ac) –When this

setting is active, this mode is capable of providing higher performance only if the wireless devices support the channel width settings. Enabling Auto 20/40MHz or Auto 20/40/80 MHz typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting an 802.11ac/n wireless client.

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:

 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 router’s wireless

network.

You can view the currently connected wireless client devices under Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Station List in the router management page.

See the “Appendix” on page 72 for general information on connecting to a 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 or if you are using WEP security.

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. By default your router is preconfigured with a wireless encryption key. 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 WPS LED will blink to indicate WPS has been activated on your router. (See “Product

Hardware Features” on page 2)

Advanced wireless settings

The advanced wireless features provide can provide you with additional options for setting up your wireless network such as multiple SSID and WDS (Wireless Distribution System) or wireless bridging.

Multiple SSID

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Multiple SSID

The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to 3 SSIDs (or wireless network names). When wireless devices are 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) since they appear as separate wireless access points but are actually all being broadcasting and managed by a single wireless access point. 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. The diagram shows an example of a client connecting to SSID 1 and another client connecting to SSID 2.

By default, your router functions in Access Point mode to allow wireless client devices to connect and access your network resources and access the Internet using a single SSID.

The diagram below shows your router in Access Point mode and clients connecting to your router using a single SSID.

To configure multiple SSID on your router:

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

on page 10).

2. Click on Advanced and click on Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz), then click on Multiple

SSID.

3. Next to Multiple SSID1 or SSID2, check Radio On/Off option to enable the additional

SSID.

 New Schedule – The schedule function allows you to define a schedule when

the additional SSID should be turned on. To define a new schedule, click New Schedule and refer to page 39 “ Create Schedules”. After you have created a new schedule, click the drop-down list and the new schedule will be available for selection. Note: Before applying scheduling, please ensure your Time

settings are configured correct and you have defined a schedule. See page 38 to configure Time Settings and see page 39 “ Create Schedules” to create a schedule.

4. Wireless Name (SSID): Enter the wireless name (SSID) for additional 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’s wireless name is unique to the device. It is recommended to change it to a name different from the primary SSID 1 and one that you can easily remember.

Wireless bridging using WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > WDS

Wireless bridging using WDS allows the device to create a wireless bridge with other WDS supported wireless routers and access points configured in WDS mode to bridge groups of network devices together wirelessly. Simultaneously, the router will also function in access point mode allowing wireless client devices such as computers, game consoles, mobile phones, etc. to connect in order to access network resources from multiple groups of network devices as well as the Internet.

Note: You can create up to four WDS bridge connections on each wireless band (2.4GHz and 5GHz. WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is not currently standardized and may not connect to different model wireless routers or access points, therefore, when using WDS, it is recommended to use the same model and version for wireless bridging.

By default, your router functions in Access Point mode to allow wireless client devices to connect and access your network resources and access the Internet.

The diagram below shows your router in Access Point mode and clients connecting to your router.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

TEW-827DRU

Note: Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following first:

Advanced Settings

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Advanced

These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.

 Beacon Period: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks

that transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide

information about the router’s wireless network. The interval is the amount

time between each beacon transmission. Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 100-1000)

 DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for

listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is

1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.

 Fragment Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units

(fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.

 RTS Threshold: The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking

protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function. Default Value: 2347 (range: 1-2347)

 TX Power: This setting allows you to adjust the wireless transmit power to a

lower setting. In busy wireless environments, lowering the transmit power may improve better performance and connectivity and decrease interference with neighboring wireless networks.

 Short Preamble: Using a short preamble can potentially increase throughput as

the transfer time is 96 microseconds versus the more commonly used long

preamble 192 microseconds. However, using a short preamble is not supported using 802.11b legacy devices, in some cases cause wireless interoperability issues, and increase the error rate in some installations. The preamble is the info. sent from the wireless transmitter to the receiver indicating when data is incoming.

 Short Slot: Short Slot Override defines the amount of time a device waits after

a data frame collision before retransmitting the data. Reducing the time from 20 microseconds (standard) to 9 microseconds can potentially increase throughput however, can also increase the error rate.

 20/40 Coexistence (2.4GHz only): 20/40 MHz Coexistence allows for the auto-

fallback from 40MHz to 20MHz channel width operation when neighboring

802.11 wireless networks are detected.

 Guard Interval: Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput.

However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections.

 MCS – Allows you to lock down the wireless transmission rate.  Extension channel – Allows you to assign either the upper or lower extension

channels to use for channel bonding when establishing connectivity at the higher channel widths 40MHz and 80MHz.

 A-MPDU: Using Aggregate Multiple Protocol Data Unit will allow the all frames

transmitted to be aggregated into larger size A-MPDU formatted frames before sending and receiving potentially increasing the overall throughput.

 MU-MIMO (5GHz only): Enables MU-MIMO functionality on your router to

optimize downstream bandwidth for multiple concurrent wireless clients. Please note that wireless clients must also support MU-MIMO capability to utilize the functionality.

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 or 802.11ac. 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, installing additional access points or wireless extenders.

Clone a MAC address

Advanced > Setup > WAN Settings

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.

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

on page 10).

2. Click on Advanced and click on Setup, then click on WAN Settings.

Identify your network on the Internet

Advanced > Setup > Management

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.

Open a device on your network to the Internet

This router can provide access to devices on your local area network to the Internet using the Virtual Server, Special Application, method (DMZ NOT recommended).

DMZ

Advanced > Firewall > DMZ

You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network to the Internet to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature that makes all the ports and services available on the WAN/Internet side of the router and forwards them to a single IP address (computer or network device) on your network. The DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet however, it is a very insecure technology and will open local area network to greater threats from Internet attacks.

It is strongly recommended to use Virtual Server (also called port forwarding, see “Virtual Server” on page 45) to allow access to your computers or network devices from the Internet.

1. Make the computer or network device (for which you are establishing a DMZ link) has a static IP address. Signing up for a Dynamic DNS service (outlined in Identify Your

Network section page 40) will provide identification of the router’s network from the

Internet.

2. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 10).

3. Click on Advanced and click Firewall, then click on DMZ.

4. Click the DMZ Enable drop-down list, and select Enable.

5. Enter the IP address you assigned to the computer or network device to expose to the Internet.

6. To save changes to this section, click Save when finished. Commit your changes to the

router by clicking on Apply/Discard Changes in the left-hand menu, and click Apply &

Reboot.

Virtual Server

Advanced > Firewall > Virtual Server

Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ (see “DMZ” on page 45) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera (TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on your network to be able to view it over the Internet. To open several ports please refer to “Gaming” section on page 48.

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service (outlined in Identify Your Network section page 40).

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

on page 10).

2. Click on Advanced and click on Firewall, then click on Virtual Server.

3. Review the virtual server settings. Click Add to save settings. Commit your changes to the router by clicking on Apply/Discard Changes in the left-hand menu, and click Apply

& Reboot.

Check the option to the left most of the entry to enable and uncheck to disable.

 Rule Enable – Check the option to enable the virtual server.  Rule Name – Enter a name for the virtual server.  IP Address: Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (e.g.

192.168.10.101).

 Protocol: Select the protocol required for your device. TCP, UDP, or Both (TCP

and UDP).

 Public Port – Enter the port number used to access the device from the Internet.  Private Port – Enter the port number required by your device. Refer to the

connecting device’s documentation for reference to the network port(s) required.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

TEW-827DRU

Note: The Public Port can be assigned a different port number than the Private Port (also known as port redirection), however it is recommended to use the same port number for both settings. Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and protocols are required. It is recommended to assign a static IP address to the device or use DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.

 Inbound Filter: Select the defined IP address range to allow access. (see “Inbound

Filter” section on page 44).

 Schedule (Optional) – The schedule function allows you to define a schedule

when the virtual server should be turned on. To define a new schedule, click New Schedule and refer to page 42 “ Create Schedules”. After you have created a new schedule, click the drop-down list and the new schedule will be available for selection. Note: Before applying scheduling, please ensure your Time settings are

configured correct and you have defined a schedule. See page 41 to configure

Time Settings and see page 42 “ Create Schedules” to create a schedule.

Example: To forward TCP port 80 to your IP camera

1. Setup DynDNS service (see Identify Your Network section page 40).

2. Access TRENDnet IP Camera management page and forward Port 80 (see product

documentation)

3. Make sure to configure your network/IP camera to use a static IP address.

Note: You may need to reference your camera documentation on configuring a static IP address.

4. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 10).

5. Click on Advanced and click on Firewall, then click on Virtual Server

6. Check the Rule Enable option to enable the Virtual Server.

7. Next to IP Address, enter the IP address assigned to the camera. (e.g. 192.168.10.101)

8. Next to Protocol, make sure TCP is selected in the drop-down list.

10. The Private Port and Public Port, enter port number 80 is configured for both settings.

11. To save the changes, click Add. Commit your changes to the router by clicking on

Apply/Discard Changes in the left-hand menu, and click Apply & Reboot.

Note: In the Virtual Server List, you can edit a rule by clicking under the Edit

column next to the rule you would like to edit. You can also delete a rule by clicking under the Delete column next to the rule you would like to delete.

Special Applications

Advanced > Firewall > Special Applications

Application rules (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow access for applications. See “Enable/disable UPnP on your router” on page 37.

Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device supports UPnP first, before configuring this feature.

Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

A. Router Configuration

Advanced > Setup > VPN

Creating a Virtual Private Network

What is a VPN? A VPN provides secure communications typically over the Internet by creating a secure

tunnel between two or more VPN routers (gateways) also known as a site-to-site VPN or between a single client computer and a VPN router (gateway) also known as a clientserver VPN.

On your VPN router, only the following type of tunnel can be created:

 Client-Server VPN – A single client computer or device with VPN client software

installed connects to a VPN router (gateway) allow the single client computer or device to securely communicate to the LAN network of the VPN router over the Internet.

Tunneling methods supported by your router: SSL VPN – This type of VPN is most commonly used in Client-Server VPN applications.

Most modern operating systems may already include a built-in client software however, your router uses an SSL VPN implementation developed by OpenVPN which will require the installation of the OpenVPN client software supports operating systems such as Windows® XP and later (32-bit/64-bit) and Linux. One major benefit to using the SSL protocol for VPN is that most networks allow the SSL protocol to passthrough which eliminates the requirement for special rules or configuration such as PPTP/L2TP/IPsec.

Important Note: For any tunneling or VPN method used, to avoid IP address conflict and to ensure connectivity, it is required that each end (LAN IP network or single client) of the VPN tunnel is configured with a different IP network or subnet.

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

on page 10).

2. Click on Advanced and click on Setup, then click on VPN.

3. Next to VPN, click Enable.

Note: You may receive a notification if Dynamic DNS is not configured on your router. If you are using VPN, it is not required however, strongly recommended to setup the Dynamic DNS feature on your router to prevent any issues with VPN connectivity if your public (WAN) Internet IP address dynamically changes. Please reference page 37

“Identify your Network on the Internet” for details on setting up the Dynamic DNS

feature.

The additional server settings are optional (not required) and can be configured if any issues are encountered when attempting to establish VPN connectivity.

 Port: A different port number may be entered however, 1194 is the default

port used with the OpenVPN client software.

 Protocol: TCP or UDP may be selected however, UDP is the default protocol

used with the OpenVPN client software.

 IP / Subnet Mask: The IP address subnet specifies the IP address range

assigned to VPN client devices up establishing connectivity.

 User Authentication: This is an additional layer of authentication that be added

as a requirement to connect. To add users, you scroll down to the bottom of the page and add users. You will be prompted on the client side for user name and password if enabling this feature.
