TEW-735AP User’s Guide Installation

Wireless Performance Consideraons

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless

devices. 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. Keep the number of

obstrucons to a minimum. Each obstrucon can reduce the range of

a wireless device. Posion the wireless devices in a manner that will

minimize the amount of obstrucons between them.

Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In

an indoor environment, try to posion 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.

Antenna orientaon can also have a large impact on your wireless

signal. Use the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best

antenna orientaon for your wireless devices.

Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise

can also impact your signal. Posion your wireless devices away from

anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby

monitors.

Any device operang on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference.

Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes

operang on the 2.4GHz frequency can potenally drop the wireless

signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can sll

transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base staon as far away as

possible from your wireless devices.

Adjust the wireless power seng on your AP if you have more than one AP

covering a large area. Covering only the neighbor hop APs in wireless range

is a good design. Covering more than neighbor APs will experience wireless

interference and slow down the communicaon.

Operaon Modes

There are four operang modes provided by the TEW-735AP, Access Point,

WDS Bridge, WDS, AP, and Universal Repeater. Congure the TEW-735AP to

dierent operaon modes which best serve your network needs.

Access Point

This is the default operaon mode. The TEW-735AP services wireless end

points in this mode. You can setup local or remote wireless authencaon,

setup up to 4 sets of SSID and separaon of SSID or STA trac can be

congured.

WDS Bridge

When WDS mode is selected, the TEW735AP funcons as a wireless bridge

and is able to wirelessly communicate to other WDS bridges to make a

wireless backbone. A WDS link is bidireconal; both end points must support

WDS and each access point must know the MAC Address of the other. Each

access point will be congured with the remote access point’s MAC address

and vice versa. Make sure all access points are congured with the same SSID,

wireless channel and wireless encrypon sengs.

WDS AP

This is a hybrid mode. The TEW735AP can be set as a WDS bridge and as an

access point at the same me.

Universal Repeater

When Repeater Mode is selected, the TEW-735AP funcons as a wireless

repeater and is able to repeat the wireless signal of an access point. This

feature is used to expand your exisng wireless network to areas your current

access point is unable to reach. Make sure all the sengs of the TEW-735AP

match the wireless access points you want to repeat, including the SSID,

channel, and wireless encrypon sengs.
