Quick Reference Note: By default, the wireless network name/SSID and wireless encryption settings have been pre-configured for your convenience and can be located on the included preset wireless settings sticker or on the device label located on the back of the access point. By default, the access point web management configuration page can be accessed using the URL http://tew-826dap or using the default LAN IP address http://192.168.10.100. At default settings and initial setup, if the access point is connected to a network with a DHCP server providing IP address settings automatically, the access point will obtain IP address settings from the network DHCP server and if no DHCP server is available, the access point will use the default IP address settings 192.168.10.100 / 255.255.255.0.

TEW-826DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide Basic Setup

For your security, each TEW-826DAP comes pre-encrypted with a unique WiFi Name (SSID) and WiFi Password. You can find your device's SSID and WiFi password on the white labels located on the device. Use this information to connect to the TEW-826DAP access point.

Verify your connection to you network by accessing the Internet. For advanced configuration continue to the advanced sections of the user manual. (see “Access the management page” on page 8)

Note: It is strongly recommended to configure the access point first before mounting. For a typical wireless setup at home or office when using the access point in AP mode, please do the following: 1.

Connect the power adapter to the power port of the access point. Or simply plug an Ethernet cable on the access point to a PoE+ (Power over Ethernet+) switch that connects to your router or network. a.

If using the power adapter, plug an Ethernet cable to either LAN1 or LAN2 on the access point and plug the other end to your access point or network, and then depress the Power button

TEW-826DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide Hardware Installation

Steps to improve wireless connectivity

To mount the access point, first route the network cable through the largest opening in the mounting plate and install the mounting plate to the desired wall or ceiling using the included drywall anchors and screws. Install the mounting plate with the clips facing away from the wall or ceiling. If wall mounting, install the mounting plate with the correct orientation. After the mounting plate is properly installed, connect the network cable to the network LAN1 port of the access point, align the access point mounting holes with the mounting plate clips and rotate the access point clockwise to lock into place. Finally, install the cable guard by sliding it onto the mounting plate until it locks into place.

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 access point near the center of your home, and near the ceiling, if possible. b. Avoid placing the access point 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 access point and the wireless device, the better. d. Place the access point in a location away from other electronics, motors, and fluorescent lighting. e. Many environmental variables can affect the access point’s performance, so if your wireless signal is weak, place the access point 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. 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.

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 access point. 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 access point to WEP to allow the old adapters to connect to the access point. 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 access point 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 access point to this encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support WPA2 encryption, then set your access point 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.

RSSI Scanner Wireless (2.4GHz, 5GHz1, or 5GHz2) > Wireless RSSI Scanner Note: Please note that wireless bandwidth control is only available when using AP mode. The RSSI scanner feature allows the access point to scan for the signal strength of wireless client devices that currently connected and configured to automatically disconnect the wireless devices once signal strength and connectivity reach a specified limit. In a wireless roaming network with multiple access points, this can assist by forcing the disconnection of the wireless client device before signal strength and connectivity to the AP are too low to sustain enough bandwidth for Internet streaming applications. This will force the wireless client device to connect to an AP strong signal and connection rate relative to its new location. It is the nature of wireless client devices to maintain connectivity to the currently connected wireless network as long as the signal can still be discovered. In the example diagram, you can see that the further away the client device is from the AP, the lower signal strength. (-30 RSSI is a higher strength value relative the AP compared to -90 RSSI). The client device at -90 RSSI is closer to the next AP but without the forced disconnection from the AP on the left using the RSSI scanner function, the client device would remain connected to the much further AP on the left than stronger signal AP on the right. Forcing a disconnect from the originally connected AP on the right would force the client to connect to the much higher signal strength AP on the right providing better connectivity during the transition between physical locations.

Data Rate: Select the operating wireless data rate. Transmit Power: The wireless transmit power can be modified to lower the antenna strength setting from 18 dBm to 11 dBm, if necessary. Lowering the wireless transmit power may help to better stabilize the wireless connectivity and reduce the effects of wireless interference in areas where there are several 2.4GHz wireless devices. (Default: 18 dBm) RTS/CTS 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 the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function. Default Value: 2347 (range: 256-2346) Beacon Period: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about the access point’s wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each beacon transmission.

DTIM: DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point 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.

Guard Interval: Select to enable short guard interval (400ns). MPDU: MPDU aggregation also collects Ethernet frames to be transmitted to a single destination, but it wraps each frame in an 802.11n MAC header. Normally this is less efficient than MSDU aggregation, but it may be more efficient in environments to maintain performance in noisy networks and to prevent hidden nodes from degrading the performance.

Client Limit: Select enable to turn on client limit of the select wireless band Max Client: Enter the amount of clients to allow
