Basic Router Setup
Creating 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).
Note: The TEW-718BRM/TEW-718BRM5 is a combination DSL modem and
router, therefore, you do not require a separate DSL modem from your ISP when
setting up this product.
•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 Network ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to set up a home network
1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:
•Computers/devices with a Network port or wireless networking capabilities.
•A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem
typically supplied by your ISP).
•A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.
2. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.
3. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,
see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 11.
4. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security”
on page 12.
How to setup your router
Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “Router
Installation” on page 6 for more detailed installation instructions.

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 router.
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 router to WEP to allow the old
adapters to connect to the router. 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 / WPA2: This setting provides the router 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 router to this
encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does
not support WPA2 encryption, then set your router 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.

Connect wireless devices using WPS
Setup > Wireless Settings > WPS Setup
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.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
•Push Button Configuration (PBC) method
oRECOMMENDED Hardware Push Button method–with an external
button located physically on your router and on your client device
oWPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in router management
page
•PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in router 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. If no wireless key is defined when connecting
via PBC, the router will automatically create an encryption key that is 64 characters long.
This 64 character key will then have to be used if one has to connect computers to the
router using the traditional connection method.
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless
device you are connecting(consult client device User’s Guide for length of time), then
push and hold the WPS button located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. The
WLAN LED on your modem router will flash rapidly indicating that the WPS setup
process has been activated. (See “Product Hardware Features” on page 2)
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each
additional device.
PBC (Software/Virtual Push Button)
Setup > Wireless Settings > WPS Setup
In addition to the hardware push button located physically on your router, the router
management page also has push button which is a software or virtual push button you
can click to activate WPS on your router.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 35).
2. Click on Setup and click Wireless Settings, then click on the WPS Setup button at the
