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).
•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 set up a home network
1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:
•Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called 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. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is often provided by
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your
modem is not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.
3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.
4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,
see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 11.
5. To set up wireless security 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 8 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-Auto: 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.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 router
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 router’s wireless
network.
See the “Appendix” on page 56 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.
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 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. By default your router is
preconfigured with a wireless encryption key. 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
WPS LED will blink to indicate WPS has been activated on your router. (See “Product
Hardware Features” on page 5)
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each

wireless should be turned on. To define a new schedule, click New Schedule and
refer to page 35. After you have created a new schedule, click the drop-down list
and the new schedule will be available for selection.
•Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter the wireless name (SSID) for your wireless
network. This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the name of your
wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from others around you.
By default, the router’s wireless name is unique to the device. If you choose to
change the SSID, change it to a name that you can easily remember.
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 or 802.11b.
•Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n
supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates.
•Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g 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 or 802.11g 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 router 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 router 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 router.
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
support WMM. Click Enabled (recommended) or Disabled to turn this feature on
or off on your router. Note: This feature can only be disabled in 802.11b/g modes.
Guest Network
Access > Guest Zone
Creating an isolated and separate wireless guest network (2.4GHz or 5GHz) allows
wireless clients to connect to your network for Internet access only and keep your local
LAN network safe by restricting guest access to your LAN network resources such as
shared documents and media files on your computers, network storage, and printers.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 25).
2. Click on Access and click on Guest Zone.
3. Review the Guest Zone settings, click Save Settings when finished.

•Enable Routing Between Zones: If checked, allows wireless clients connected to the
guest network access to your private LAN network.
Choose which band to enable the Guest Network (Wireless – 2.4GHz or 5GHz):
•Enable Guest Zone - Check the option to enable the guest network.
•New Schedule: Click the drop-down list to select the pre-defined schedule to apply.
The filter will only be active during the time period defined in the pre-defined
schedule. (See “Create Schedule” section on page 35).
Note: Before applying scheduling, please ensure your Time settings are configured
correct and you have defined a schedule. See page 34 to configure Time Settings and
see page 35 to create a schedule.
•Wireless Network Name (SSID) - This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and
is the name of your wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from
others around you. It is recommended to use a different name from your primary
wireless network to a name that you can easily identify and differentiate from the
primary. You can reference your guests to access this network instead of the
primary.
•Security Mode – Select the wireless security to use for the guest network.
4. Under Security Mode, you can apply a different wireless security type and key to the
guest network. Please refer to page 12 to find out about different security types and
page 13 for wireless security configuration.
Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce
the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that
will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of
your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets
and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and
masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic
objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the
wireless device, the better.
d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors,
and fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so
if your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and
test the signal strength to determine the ideal position.
2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position 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.
3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use
the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna
orientation for your wireless devices.
4. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also
impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that
generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device
uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices,
installing additional access points or wireless extenders.
