Frequently Asked Questions - TEW-654TR, TEW-658BRM TRENDNET

What is the default IP address to access the configuration interface?

The default IP address is 192.168.10.1. Open your web browser and enter this address in the address bar.

What are the default username and password?

The default username is admin and the default password is admin (case-sensitive).

How do I configure the ADSL connection type (PPPoE, static IP, etc.)?

Launch the Setup Wizard after logging into the web interface. Select your connection type (e.g., PPPoE) and enter the parameters provided by your ISP: username, password, VPI/VCI, encapsulation, etc.

How do I secure my Wi-Fi network?

In the web interface, go to Wireless settings. Enable encryption by choosing WPA2-PSK with a strong password (8 to 63 characters). Make a note of this password as it will be required to connect your devices.

What if the computer does not receive an IP address from the router?

Check that the Ethernet cable is firmly connected to a LAN port and that the corresponding LAN LED is on. Restart the router and computer. If the problem persists, configure the network adapter to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).

How do I reset the router to factory defaults?

Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the device for about 10 seconds, then release. The LEDs will flash, indicating the reset. All settings will return to factory defaults.

What do the DSL and Internet LEDs mean?

The DSL LED should be solid green to indicate successful ADSL synchronization. The Internet LED becomes solid green when the WAN connection is established (after configuration).

How do I change the administrator password?

In the web interface, go to Management > Access Control (or similar). Enter the old password, then the new password twice. Click Apply to save.

Can I use the wireless router without a DSL connection?

Yes, the router can operate in wireless access point mode even without a DSL connection. Connect the LAN port to another network and configure the appropriate mode in the web interface.

Where can I find the GPL/LGPL source codes?

The source codes are available on TRENDnet's website at http://trendnet.com/downloads/list_gpl.asp for at least 3 years after product shipment. You can also request them by contacting TRENDnet.

The following are some general wireless tips to help minimize the impact of interference within an environment.

Assign your network a unique SSID

Do not use anything that would be identifying like “Smith Family Network”. Choose something that you would easily identify when searching for available wireless networks.

Do not turn off the SSID broadcast

The SSID broadcast is intended to be on and turning it off can cause connectivity issues. The preferred method of securing a wireless network is to choose a strong form of encryption with a strong and varied encryption key.

Note: after setting up the SSID, encryption type and encryption key/passphrase, please make a note of them for future reference. You will need this information to connect your wireless computers to the wireless router/access point.

Change the channel

Most wireless access points and routers are defaulted to channel 6. If you have a site survey tool that will display the channels you can plan your channel selection around neighboring access points to minimize interference from them. If your site survey tool does not display the channel try using channels 1 or 11.

Change the channel bandwidth

If you are using 802.11n you should be securing the network with WPA2-AES security.

Note: Due to Wi-Fi certification considerations if you choose WEP, WPA or WPA2-TKIP encryption this device may operate in legacy wireless mode (802.11b/g). You may not get 802.11n performance as these forms of encryption are not supported by the 802.11n specification.

Avoid stacking hardware on top of each other to prevent overheating issues

Maintain enough free space around the hardware for good ventilation and airflow. There should also be plenty of free space around the antennas to allow the wireless signal to propagate. Please also make sure that the wireless hardware is not placed in any type of shelving or enclosures.

There are a number of other environmental factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.

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.

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.
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, HAM radios, Walkie-Talkies 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 signals. Move the phone's base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices.

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.
