ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11g Wireless Broadband Router.
This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless
LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. It provides a complete solution for Internet surfing
and office resources sharing, and it is easy to configure and operate for every users.
Purpose
This manual discusses how to install the IEEE 802.11g Wireless Broadband Router.
Overview of this User’s Guide
Introduction. Describes the Wireless Broadband Router and its features.
Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the basic installation of the
Wireless Router.
Identifying External Components. Describes the front panel, rear panel and LED
indicators of the Wireless Router.

INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at
any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era
of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the
exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.
This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless
LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and home, it saves you
the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer, while
providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires.
Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than
two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher
costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single Internet
connection to link the home with the Internet.
The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an
Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs. All linked computers
can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device.
This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be
installed and configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local
area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings.
The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing any of the
computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online games—the basis
of the family computing lifestyle.
Applications:
Broadband Internet access:
Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection through
wireless or wired (WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet).
Resource sharing:
Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.
File sharing:
Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk
space.
Online gaming:
Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be
easily setup.
Firewall:
A built-in firewall function — for security and anti-hack system.

UNPACKING AND SETUP
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless Broadband
Router.
Unpacking
Open the box of the Wireless Broadband Router and carefully unpack it. The box
should contain the following items:
 TEW-432BRP Wireless Router
 Multi-Language QIG
 CD-ROM (User’s Guide)
 External Power Adapter
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for
replacement.
Setup
The setup of the Wireless Broadband Router can be performed properly using the
following methods:
 The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.
 Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the
power adapter.
 Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation
around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband
Router.
 Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position
that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the
antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the
receiving sensitivity.

successful. Otherwise, this indicator always on or off means the function of the
Internet Broadband Router is fail.
WAN (Link/ACT)
The indicators light green when the WAN port was connected to an xDSL/Cable
modem successfully.
The indicators blink green while the WAN port was transmitting or receiving data
on the xDSL/Cable modem.
WLAN (ACT)
This indicator lights green when there are wireless devices connected and
transmitting data to the Wireless Router.
LAN (Link/ACT)
These indicators light green when the LAN ports were connected successfully.
These indicators blink green while the LAN ports were transmitting data.

Rear Panel
The figure below shows the rear panel of the Wireless Broadband Router.
TEW-432BRP Rear Panel
Antenna
There are one 2 dBi Gain Antenna in the rear panel for wireless connection.
LAN (1-4)
Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps or
100Mbps Ethernet connections.
WAN
In the four port broadband router, there is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port
for the WAN that will fit the xDSL/Cable modem’s specification need.
DC IN
Plug the power adapter to this power jack
RESET
Use a pin-shape item to push to reset this device to factory default settings. It will
be useful too when the manager forgot the password to login, but the setting will be
back to default setting.

Hardware connections
Connect the Router using LAN
1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the Wireless Internet
Broadband Router.
2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or
Cable modem.
3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer
system; the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the Internet
Broadband Router. Since the Wireless Broadband Router has four ports, you can
connect up to four computers directly to the unit. There you do not have to buy a
switch to connect these computers since one Internet Broadband Router
functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.
Connect the Router using Wireless LAN
1. Plug in one end of the RJ45 network cable to the xDSL/Cable Modem.
2. Plug in the other end of the RJ45 network cable to the Wireless Internet
Broadband Router WAN port.

Check the installation
The control LEDs of the Wireless Internet Broadband Router are clearly visible and
the status of the network link can be seen instantly:
1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the broadband modem,
the Power, CPU, LAN, WLAN and WAN port link LEDs of the Internet
Broadband Router will light up indicating a normal status.
2. While the WAN is link up to the ADSL/Cable modem, the WAN port’s
Link/ACT LED will light up.
3. While the LAN is link up to the computer system, the LAN port’s Link/ACT
LED will light up.
