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. Turn off and unplug your cable or DSL broadband modem. This is 
required. 
2. Position your router close to your modem and a computer. Place the 
router in an open area of your intended work area for better wireless 
coverage. 
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your modem (or existing router if 
upgrading) that is connected to your computer. Plug it into the LAN port 
labeled 1 on the back of your router. The router is now connected to your 
computer. 
4. Plug one end of the included blue Ethernet cable that came with your 
router into the yellow port labeled WAN on the back of the router. Plug 
the other end of this cable into the Ethernet port on your modem. 
5. Reconnect the power adapter to your cable or DSL broadband modem 
and wait for two minutes. 
6. Connect the supplied power adapter into the power port on the back of 
the router 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 router to boot up. 
7. If you are connecting to a Broadband service that uses a dynamic 
connection (not PPPoE), you may be online already. Try opening a web 
browser and enter a web site. If a solid light indicates connection on the 
Internet port and the router can connect to the Internet. If the LED is 
orange, the connection is good but the router cannot connect to the 
Internet. 
 
Connect to an Existing Router 
Note: It is strongly recommended to replace your existing router with the 
TEW-733GR instead of using both. If your modem is a combo router, you 
may want to contact your ISP or manufacturer’s user guide to put the 
router into Bridge mode, which will ‘turn off ’ the router (NAT ) functions. 
 
If you are connecting the TEW-733GR router to an existing router to use as a 
wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following to the 
TEW-733GR before connecting it to your network: 
 
•Disable UPnP™ 
•Disable DHCP 
•Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. 
The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your 
other router. 
 
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below: 
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the 
router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address on 
the computer is 192.168.10.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). 
Please see the Networking Basics section for more information. If you 
need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before 
making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to 
receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do 
anything to your computer. 
2. Open a web browser, enter http://192.168.10.1 and press <Enter>. When 
the login window appears, set the user name to admin and type the 
password (Web password) that can be found on the label at the bottom 
of the Router. Click Login to continue. 
3. Click Access > Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP check 
box. Click Save Settings to continue. 
4. Click Main > LAN. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server check box. Click 
Save Settings to continue. 
5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet 
mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your settings. Use 
this new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the 
future. Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back 
to the original values as in Step 1. 
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your 
computer to your network. 
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and 
connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet 
(WAN) port of the router. 
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet 
devices and computers. To configure your wireless network, open a web 
browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to 
the Configuration and Wireless Security sections for more information on 
setting up your wireless network.
