Introduction
The TEW-610APB Super G Wireless MIMO AP is an 802.11g high-performance, wireless AP that
supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.
Unlike most APs, the TEW-610APB provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps (compared to the
standard 54 Mbps) when used with other Super G MIMO products. The 802.11g standard is
backwards compatible with 802.11b products. This means that you do not need to change your entire
network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g’s speed when you mix 802.11b
and 802.11g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the
802.11g standard into your 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by
gradually replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices.

Installation Considerations
The TEW-610APB Super G Wireless MIMO AP lets you access your network, using a wireless
connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, 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-610APB and other network devices
to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless product’s 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. A wall 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.
Getting Started
For a typical wireless setup at home, please do the following:
1. Plug the power adapter to outlay, and connect the power jack to the TEW-610APB.

Wireless
This wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your Wireless AP. Please note that
changes made on this section may also need to be duplicated on your Wireless Client.
Wireless On/Off
This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the AP.
Wireless Network Name
When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the
list (unless Visibility Status is set to invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the
SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the pre-configured
network name.

14
Visibility Status
The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible,
your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not
using encryption then they could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled,
you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the
network.
Transmission Rate
By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of
selecting the speed if necessary.
802.11 Mode
If all of your devices can connect in 802.11g Mode, you can change the mode to 802.11g only.
If you have some devices that are 802.11b, leave the setting at Mixed.
Adaptive Radio Selection
Check this box to enable Adaptive Radio feature in Dynamic Turbo mode.
Super Mode
Super G Turbo Modes must use channel 6 for communication. For Super G with Static Turbo,
802.11 Mode must be set to 802.11g.
Super G without Turbo: Performance enhancing features such as Packet Bursting,
FastFrames, and Compression.
Super G with Static Turbo: This mode is not backwards compatible with non-Turbo (legacy)
devices. This mode should only be enabled when all devices on the wireless network are Static
Turbo enabled.
Super G with Dynamic Turbo: This mode is backwards compatible with non-Turbo (legacy)
devices. This mode should be enabled when some devices on the wireless network are not
Turbo enabled but support other Super G features mentioned above.
Auto Channel Select
If you select this option, theAP automatically finds the channel with least interference and uses
that channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, theAP uses the channel that
you specify with the following Channel option.
Channel
A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum to handle
communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other
electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and
coverage of your wireless network.

15
WDS
Wireless Distribution System (WDS). When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless
bridge and is able to wirelessly communication with other APs.
Enable WDS
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to
wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is incompatible with
WPA -- both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP
must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must
have a WDS link back to this AP.
AP MAC Address #
Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC address of this AP
to create the WDS link back to this AP.

16
Security
On this section you can set the 802.11g security and encryption options. Any new settings will not take
effect until the device is rebooted.

17
WPA Enable
Select to enable WPA function
WPA Mode
WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the AP only
support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i
security standard. With the "WPA2" option, the AP tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the
client only supports WPA. With the "WPA2 Only" option, the AP associates only with clients that
also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type
The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. With the "TKIP and AES" option,
the AP negotiates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available.
PSK
The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters inASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It
cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample
length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session
keys that are unique for each wireless client.
WPA Group Key Update Interval
The interval defines how frequent the key used for broadcast/multicast will be changed. Unit:
second

18
Access
On this section you can enable Access Control. If enabled, only the MAC addresses entered into the
“MAC address” boxes are allowed to associate to this AP. Note that you can cut and paste the
addresses from the “Station List” page into MAC address boxes. Any new settings will not take effect
until the device is rebooted.
Enable Access Control
By default, the Access Control feature is disabled. If you need Access Control, check
this option.
MAC Address #
MAC addresses entered into the “MAC address” boxes are allowed to associate to this
AP.

19
Admin
On this section you can configure the IP address used by the Web server running on this device. For
“static” mode, the IP address settings are given here. For “DHCP” mode, these settings are supplied
by a DHCP server on your network. You can also change the password, reboot the device, or reset all
settings to their factory defaults. If you have changed any settings it is necessary to reboot the device
for the new settings to take effect.
