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 14.
5. To set up wireless security on your router, see “Wireless Networking and Security” on
page 15.
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.

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. A
blue LED on your router WPS button will flash indicating that the WPS setup process has
been activated on your router. (See “Product Hardware Features” on page 5)
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each
additional device.

•Multiple SSID: Select which SSID you would like to configure. By default, SSID 1 is
enabled and preconfigured. The Wireless Name (SSID) will be blank if additional
SSID’s have not been configured. The router supports 3 additional primary SSIDs.
•Radio On/Off:
oOn: Turns on wireless radio.
oOff: Turns off wireless radio.
•802.11 n-mode
oAuto: Select this option if you have non-802.11n wireless clients (802.11a/b/g)
connecting to your wireless network.
oOff: The router will operate in 802.11n mode only, non-802.11n wireless clients
will not be able to connect when this option is selected.
When applying the 802.11 n-mode setting on 2.4GHz, 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.
•Wireless 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.
•Broadcast Network Name (SSID):
oEnabled allows wireless devices to search and discover your wireless network
name (also called SSID) broadcasted by your router.
oDisabled 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.
•Frequency (Channel): 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.
