Basic Media Bridge and Router Setup
Application Diagram
The media bridge is connected by Ethernet or network cable with your client devices such as your
TV, DVD player, or game console; connected wirelessly with your router either on the 2.4GHz
(default) or 5GHz band.
The router is installed near the modem (typically supplied by your ISP “Internet Service Provider”)
and is physically connected via Ethernet or network cable from the router’s Internet port to the
modem’s network port. 2.4GHz wireless signals are broadcasted from the router to wireless
clients such as laptops (with wireless capability) and the less congested 5GHz wireless signals are
broadcasted from the router to other wireless client devices such as the media bridge, TEW-
800MB, which connects with your TV, game console, or DVD player, thereby providing Internet
access for all network ready devices.

of the TEW-800MB’s network ports. Connect the other end of the cable to your
computer’s network port**; move on to the next step.
**Other options (make sure all devices are powered on and network cables are
connected correctly):
a. Have one network (LAN) port from the router connect with the media bridge;
have one network port from the media bridge connect with the computer.
b. Have one network port from the media bridge and one network port from the
computer connect with network (LAN) ports on the router respectively.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the TEW-800MB and then to a power outlet (EU
versions will have a power button on the back. Push the power button to the
