Installation Considerations
The TEW-690AP 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. 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.
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz
cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop
the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless
signal. Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices.
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.

Choose "Static IP (fixed IP)" if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to
assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the following fields.
IP Address
The IP address of the AP on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of
IP addresses available for the LAN. For example, 192.168.10.100.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local area network.
Default Gateway
The IP address of the router on the local area network.
Choose “DHCP (Auto Config)” if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP
address to the AP.
