Installation Considerations
The TEW-680MB Gaming Adapter allows you to access your network by using a wireless
connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind that 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 TEW-680MB and other network devices
to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless products 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. Awall 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 can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs
may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with
wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other
materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate extreme RF noise.

ports. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s network port.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the TEW-680MB and then to a power outlet (EU Versions
will have a power button on the back. Push the power button to the “On” position. ). Wait
30 seconds for the TEW-680MB to boot up.
3. Plug in the power adapter and verify the Power & Ethernet LEDs are light.
