Basic Access Point Setup
Expanding a Home Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
•Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
•Router – Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
•Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to expand a home network
The access point provides multiple modes to extend your current network.
The access point offers the following modes:
•Access Point (Default)
•Wireless Bridge (also known as WDS mode)
•Wireless Range Extender (also known as repeater mode)
•Wireless Client Bridge (also known as wireless client adapter mode)
For detailed information on these modes and how to use them, please refer to the
following section Choosing your device mode on page 9.

Choosing your device mode
Access Point (AP) Mode
By default, your access point functions in Access Point mode, creating a wireless network to allow wireless client devices to connect and access your network resources and access the
Internet.
The diagram below shows your access point connected to one of your router LAN ports and functioning in Access Point mode allowing wireless clients (ex. laptops, game consoles, DVRs,
Smart TVs, and mobile devices, etc.) to wirelessly connect to your access point to establish network and Internet connectivity.
Note: The TEW-750DAP has dual band wireless capability allowing the access point to broadcast a wireless network name on two separate bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Wireless clients can
connect to your access on either band depending on the wireless band supported by your wireless client. The 2.4GHz band is more commonly used and supported for general applications
such as Internet access and web browsing. The 5GHz band is less commonly used and supported which can be more useful for higher or stable bandwidth application requirements such as
media streaming as this band may be less likely affected by neighboring wireless networks operating on the 5GHz band.

When applying the 802.11 Mode setting, please keep in mind the following:
•Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can connect
wirelessly at 802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a.
•Connecting at 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a will limit the capability of your 802.11n
supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates.
•Allowing 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a devices to connect to an 802.11n capable
wireless network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher
performance and data rates of 802.11n.
•Wireless devices that only support 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a will not be able to
connect to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode.
•Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a wireless
network that is set to 802.11g only mode.
•Enable Auto Channel Scan – Check this option to set your access point to scan for
which wireless channels to use automatically.
•Wireless Channel – Unchecking the Enable Auto Channel Scan option will you to
manually set the channel on which the access point will broadcast. Click the drop-
down list and select the desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to
select the Channel that is least used by neighboring wireless networks.
•Transmission Rate – Allows you to lock down the wireless transmission rate.
Note: This feature is only available when using 802.11 n only mode.
•Channel Width: Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network.
This setting only applies to 802.11n. For greater 802.11n performance, select
20/40MHz (Auto) (Options: 20MHz or 20/40MHz (Auto)). It is recommended to use
the default channel bandwidth settings.
Note: Please note that this setting may provide more stability than the higher
channel bandwidth settings such as 20/40MHz (Auto) for connectivity in busy
wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area.
o20 MHz – This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for
wireless devices connecting at 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This
setting may provide more stability than 20/40MHz (Auto) for
connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several
neighboring wireless networks in the area.
o20/40MHz (Auto) –When 20/40MHz (Auto) is active, this mode is
capable of providing higher performance only if the wireless devices
support the channel bandwidth settings. Enabling 20/40MHz (Auto)
typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting
an 802.11n client.
•Visibility Status
oVisible - allows wireless devices to search and discover your wireless network
name (also called SSID) broadcasted by your access point.
oInvisible -Turns off the ability for wireless devices to find your network. It is still
possible for wireless devices to be configured to connect to your wireless
network. Disabling this setting will disable WPS functionality.
•WMM:Wi-Fi Multimedia is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature which prioritizes
audio and video data packets. This feature requires the wireless device to also

Wireless Networking and Security
How to choose the type of security for your wireless network
Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and
unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet
recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your
new access point.
There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each
having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network
taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength
along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).
It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from
accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).
In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest
strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your
network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for
your network.
Wireless Encryption Types
•WEP: Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11b/g hardware. This is
the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not
recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11 b or
802.11g wireless adapters or computers with old embedded wireless cards(wireless
clients), you may have to set your access point to WEP to allow the old adapters to
connect to the access point.
Note: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps.
•WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much
of the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades)
to support this encryption standard. Total wireless speeds under this encryption
type however are limited to 54Mbps.
•WPA-Auto: This setting provides the access point with the ability to detect
wireless devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will
automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device
connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless
network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only
when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2
encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.
Note: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit
your connection speeds to 54Mbps
•WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA
encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest
connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your access point to this
encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not
support WPA2 encryption, then set your access point to either WPA or WPA-Auto
encryption.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported.Below is brief
comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended
configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network.

Connect wireless devices to your access point
A variety of wireless network devices can connect to your wireless network such as:
•Gaming Consoles
•Internet enabled TVs
•Network media players
•Smart Phones
•Wireless Laptop computers
•Wireless IP cameras
Each device may have its own software utility for searching and connecting to available
wireless networks, therefore, you must refer to the User’s Manual/Guide of your
wireless client device to determine how to search and connect to this access point’s
wireless network.
See the “Appendix” on page 60 for general information on connecting to a wireless
network.
Connect wireless devices using WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to
easily add wireless devices to your network.
Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled or
if you are using WEP security. Please note that WPS functionality will only be available
when the Device Mode is set to Access Point mode under Main > Device Mode.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
•Push Button Configuration (PBC) method
o(RECOMMENDED) Hardware Push Button method–with an external button
located physically on your access point and on your client device
oWPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in access point management page
•PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in access point management
page
Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation of
WPS.
Recommended Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method
•Note: It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created
before connecting clients using the PBC method. By default your access point is
