Introduction
The TEW-611BRP MIMO Wireless Router is an 802.11g high-performance, wireless router that
supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.
Unlike most routers, the TEW-611BRP provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps (compared to the
standard 54Mbps) 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-611BRP MIMO Wireless Router 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-611BRP 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. You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or
office)
2. Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.
3. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the TEW-611BRP Wireless Broadband Router (WAN port).
4. Ethernet LAN ports of the TEW-611BRP are Auto-MDIX and will work with both Straight-Through
and Cross-Over cable.
