System Concept
The TEW-676APBO is not only designed and used as a traditional outdoor AP, but also
with rich features tailored for WISP applications. The two-level management capability
and access control ease WISP and owners to maintain and manage wireless network in a
more controllable fashion. Main applications are listed as follows with illustration:
•Wireless CPE for Multi Dwelling Unit/Multi-Tenant Unit(MDU/MTU) complexes
including apartments, dormitories, and office complexes.
•Outdoor Access Point for school campuses, enterprise campuses, or manufacture
plants.
•Indoor Access Point for hotels, factories, or warehouses where industrial grade
devices are preferred.
•Public hotspot operation for café, parks, convention centers, shopping malls, or
airports.
•Wireless coverage for indoor and outdoor grounds in private resorts, home yards,
or gulf course communities.

Product Benefit
The N300 Wireless 12dBi Outdoor 5GHz PoE Access Point is the point of connection
to Wireless Outdoor Network for service provider deploying last mile services to
business or residential broadband subscribers.. Network administrators can create
multiple subscriber service tier using per-subscriber rate limiting features, and manage
centrally. TEW-676APBO outdoor bridge utilizes a 200mW output Tx Power to connect to
the WiFi mesh or WDS infrastructure and provides the subscriber with an Ethernet
connection for a local access.
The N300 Wireless 12dBi Outdoor 5GHz PoE Access Point can be used for nine
different purposes in six different modes, the Router AP mode , AP mode, the WDS
mode, the CPE mode, Client Bridge + Universal Repeater mode and CPE + AP mode,
Installation Considerations
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.
1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather
than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal
you will lose.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices
or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide
the necessary coverage depending on the environment.

Applications
TEW-676APBO is multiple mode system which can be configured either as a wireless
gateway or an access point as desired. It also can be used as a WDS link for Ethernet
network expansion. This section depicts different applications on Router AP Mode, AP
Mode, WDS Mode, CPE Mode, Client Bridge + Universal Repeater Mode and CPE + AP
Mode.
Router AP Mode (Gateway + Access Point + WDS)
Example 1 : Router AP without WDS
It can be deployed as a gateway with wireless Access Point
Example 2 : Router AP with WDS
It can be deployed as a gateway with wireless Access Point and provides
WDS link for network extension.
AP Mode (including Access Point + WDS)
An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base
station is typically connected to a wired network via the Ethernet port. A relay base
station relays data between main base stations and relay stations or remote base
stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections
from wireless clients and pass data upwards to a network wirelessly.
Example 1 : Access Point without WDS
It can be deployed as a tradition fixed wireless Access Point
