Locate the Reset button on the back panel. Using a paperclip, press and hold the button for about 10 seconds until the power LED blinks. Release the button; the router will reboot with factory settings.

What wireless security settings should I use?

Download the latest firmware from the TRENDnet support website. In the router's web interface, go to Administration > Firmware Upgrade, choose the downloaded file, and click Upgrade. Do not power off the router during the process.

Why is my internet connection dropping or slow?

Try power cycling the router and modem. Check for interference from other electronic devices. If using wireless, ensure you are on a less crowded channel. Also, check if the firmware is up to date. If the issue persists, contact your ISP.

Can I use the TFM-560U as a wireless repeater?

Yes, the TFM-560U supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System) or repeater mode. Access the wireless settings and enable WDS or repeater mode, then input the MAC address of the main router.

How do I configure port forwarding on the TFM-560U?

Log into the router's web interface, go to Advanced > Virtual Server or Port Forwarding. Add a new rule with the service name, external port, internal port, and the IP address of the device you want to forward to.

What is the IP address range of the DHCP server?

By default, the DHCP server assigns IP addresses in the range 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.199. You can adjust this range in the LAN settings of the router.

How do I clean and maintain my TFM-560U router?

Unplug the router before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids or solvents. Ensure vents are free of dust to prevent overheating. Periodically check for firmware updates.

Troubleshooting

Q1: I inserted the modem into my computer's USB port and my computer does not detect the modem? What should I do?

A1: Make sure the computer meets the minimum system requirements as shown at the beginning of this quick installation guide. Also verify that the modem is properly inserted in the computer's USB port. You may also try inserting the modem into a different USB port.

Q2: After successful installation of the TFM-560U, I tried to connect to the Internet but I do not get a dial tone. What should I do?

A2.1: Unplug the telephone cable from the computer, and check for a dial tone by connecting the telephone cable directly from the wall outlet to a telephone. If there is no dial tone, then the problem is in your telephone cable or telephone system. Call your telephone service provider for assistance. If there is a dial tone, reconnect cables to the modem and verify that the telephone cord is securely connected to the modem and phone jack.

A2.2: If a PBX or other phone system is installed, check modem performance with a direct line from your telephone company. Some PBXs may cause the telephone line condition change and effect modem performance.

Q3: How do I install the drivers on Windows 98SE or ME?

A3: Please refer to the User's Guide included on the Driver CD-ROM.

If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TFM-560U, please refer to the User's Guide included on the Driver CD-ROM or contact Trendnet's Technical Support Department.
