Basic Router Setup  
Wireless Performance Considerations  
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.  
Creating a Home Network  
1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather  
than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal  
you will lose.  
What is a network?  
2. 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.  
3. 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.  
4. 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.  
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.  
5. 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.  
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such  
as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz  
frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be  
in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base station as  
far away as possible from your wireless devices.  
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.  
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices  
or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide  
the necessary coverage depending on the environment.  
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.

Connect additional wired devices to your network  
Wireless Networking and Security  
You can connect additional computers or other network enabled devices to your  
network by using Ethernet cables to connect them to one of the available LAN ports  
labeled 1,2,3,4 on your router. Check the status of the LED indicators (1, 2, 3, or 4) on  
the front panel of your router to ensure the physical cable connection from your  
computer or device.  
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.  
Note: If you encounter issues connecting to your network, there may be a problem  
with your computer or device network settings. Please ensure that your computer or  
device network settings (also called TCP/IP settings) are configured to obtain IP  
address settings automatically (also called dynamic IP address or DHCP) and to  
Obtain DNS Server address settings automatically.  
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.  
Gigabit  
LAN Ports  
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  
Below is brief comparison chart of the wireless security types and the  
recommended configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless  
network.  
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.

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 Featureson page 5)

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. 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 or installing  
additional access points. .

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.  
Beacon Interval: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that  
transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information  
about the router’s wireless network. The interval is the amount time between  
each beacon transmission.  
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

Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000)  
DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening  
to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered  
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM  
with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to  
receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid  
settings are between 1 and 255.  
Fragment Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units  
(fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at  
the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is  
greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its  
default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result  
in poor performance.  
RTS Threshold – The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking  
protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control)  
address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a  
computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already  
registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a  
new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered  
MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC  
address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the  
modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and  
manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.

Change your router IP address  
Network > LAN Setting  
In most cases, you do not need to change your router IP address settings. Typically, the  
router IP address settings only needs to be changed, if you plan to use another router in  
your network with the same IP address settings, if you are connecting your router to an  
existing network that is already using the IP address settings your router is using, or if  
you are experiencing problems establishing VPN connections to your office network  
through your router.  
Note: For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the  
stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are  
installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to  
your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to  
disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the  
power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s User Guide/Manual or  
contact your ISP.  
Note: If you are not encountering any issues or are not faced with one of the cases  
described above or similar, it is recommended to keep your router IP address settings as  
default.

This router can provide access to devices on your local area network to the Internet  
using the Virtual Server, Special Application, method (DMZ NOT recommended).  
DMZ  
Advanced > DMZ  
You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network to the Internet  
to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature  
that makes all the ports and services available on the WAN/Internet side of the router  
and forwards them to a single IP address (computer or network device) on your  
network. The DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet however,  
it is a very insecure technology and will open local area network to greater threats from  
Internet attacks.  
It is strongly recommended to use Virtual Server (also called port forwarding, see  
Virtual Serveron page 35) to allow access to your computers or network devices from  
the Internet.  
3. View and select which service you would like to enable or disable.  
1. Make the computer or network device (for which you are establishing a DMZ link) has  
a static IP address. Signing up for a Dynamic DNS service (outlined in Identify Your

Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or  
required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer  
or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ  
(see DMZon page 34) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports  
used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera  
(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on  
your network to be able to view it over the Internet. To open several ports please refer  
to Gamingsection on page 37.  
4. Review the virtual server settings. Click Apply to save settings.  
Protocol: Select the protocol required for your device. TCP or UDP.  
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and  
protocols are required. You should assign a static IP address to the device or  
use DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.  
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual  
Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service  
(outlined in Identify Your Network section pg.39).

Special applications (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming  
applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several  
ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will  
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a  
device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will  
forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on  
your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently

Add static routes to your router  
Advanced > Routing  
3. Review the WAN Static Routes section. Click Apply to save settings.  
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to  
other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be  
determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for  
the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another  
network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these  
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate  
between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an  
example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network  
to access the other network.  
IP Address: Enter the IP network address of the destination network for the  
route. (e.g. 192.168.20.0)  
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the destination network for the

Enable/disable UPnP on your router  
Advanced > Advanced Network  
Identify your network on the Internet  
Administrator > Management  
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows devices connected to a network to discover each  
other and automatically open the connections or services for specific applications (e.g.  
instant messenger, online gaming applications, etc.) UPnP is enabled on your router by  
default to allow specific applications required by your computers or devices to allow  
connections through your router as they are needed.  
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on  
your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet  
requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this  
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the  
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability  
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your  
ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify  
your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and  
other devices on your local area network.
