Frequently Asked Questions - W9 Tenda

How do I log in to the web UI of the Tenda W9?
Connect your computer to the same network as the AP. Set your computer's IP to 192.168.0.x (e.g., 192.168.0.10) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Open a browser and go to 192.168.0.254. The default username and password are both admin (case-sensitive).
What should I do if I forgot the login password?
You must reset the AP to factory defaults. While the AP is powered on, use a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button for about 8 seconds until the SYS LED turns solid on and then blinks again. The login credentials revert to admin/admin and the IP becomes 192.168.0.254.
The LED indicators are off. What is wrong?
First, ensure the AP is properly connected to a PoE switch that supports IEEE 802.3af using a fully wired Ethernet cable (all 8 pins). If the PoE source is correct, check if the switch port is working. If the issue persists, try resetting the AP.
Can I use the W9 without a PoE switch?
No, the W9 is powered exclusively via Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant with IEEE 802.3af. You must connect it to a PoE switch or injector. The LAN0 port accepts PoE input.
How can I extend the WiFi range using the W9?
The W9 supports Client+AP mode (repeater mode). In the Quick Setup, choose Client+AP, scan for an existing WiFi network, and connect. The W9 will rebroadcast that network. Ensure both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are configured to repeat the same upstream AP.
What is the maximum number of clients the W9 can support?
The AP supports up to 128 wireless clients total across all SSIDs. Each SSID can be configured to allow a maximum between 1 and 128 clients (default is 48). Once the limit is reached, new clients are rejected.
How do I set up multiple SSIDs on the W9?
Go to Wireless Settings > SSID Settings. Select the radio band (2.4 or 5 GHz), then choose an SSID index (up to 8 for 2.4 GHz, 4 for 5 GHz). Enable the SSID, set a custom name, and configure the security mode. Click Save. Each SSID can have its own security settings.
The AP is working but I cannot access the internet through it. What to check?
Ensure the upstream router/switch is connected to the internet and can provide a valid IP. The W9's LAN IP must be in the same subnet as the router's LAN. If using DHCP, verify the AP has obtained an IP. Check the Uplink Check feature under Tools – it may have disabled WiFi due to uplink failure.
How can I back up and restore the W9 configuration?
Log in to the web UI, go to Tools > Configuration. To back up, click Backup Settings > Backup and save the .cfg file. To restore, click Choose File, select the backup file, and click Restore. The AP will reboot after restoration.
Does the W9 support VLAN configuration?
Yes, the W9 supports QVLAN (802.1Q). Under Wireless Settings > QVLAN Settings, you can enable QVLAN and set a PVID and management VLAN. You can also assign VLAN IDs to each SSID for both bands. This is useful for network segmentation in hotels or enterprises.

7 Wireless Sengs

7.1 Basic Sengs

7.1.1 Overview

This module enables you to set SSID-related parameters of the AP.

Broadcast SSID

When the AP broadcasts an SSID, nearby wireless clients can detect the SSID. When this parameter is set to Disable, the AP does not broadcast the SSID and nearby wireless clients cannot detect the SSID. In this case, you need to enter the SSID manually on your wireless client if you want to connect to the wireless network corresponding to the SSID. It enhances the security of the wireless network.

It is worth nong that aer Broadcast SSID is set to Disable, a hacker can sll connect to the corresponding wireless network if he/she manages to obtain the SSID by other means.

Isolate Client

This parameter implements a funcon similar to the VLAN funcon for wired networks. It isolates the wireless clients connected to the same wireless network corresponding to an SSID, so that the wireless clients can access only the wired network connected to the AP. Applying this funcon to hotspot setup at public places such as hotels and airports helps increase network security.

WMF

The number of wireless clients keeps increasing currently, but wired and wireless bandwidth resources are limited. Therefore, the mulcast technology, which enables single-point data transmission and mul-point data reception, has been widely used in networks to effectively reduce bandwidth requirements and prevent network congestion.

Nevertheless, if a large number of clients are connected to a wireless interface of a wireless network and mulcast data is intended for only one of the clients, the data is sll sent to all the clients, which unnecessarily increases wireless resource usage and may lead to wireless channel congeson. In addition, mulcast stream forwarding over an 802.11 network is not secure.

The WMF funcon of the AP converts mulcast trac into unicast trac and forwards the trac to the mulcast trac desnaon in the wireless network. This helps save wireless resources, ensure reliable transmission, and reduce delays.

Max. Number of Clients

This parameter species the maximum number of clients that can connect to the wireless network corresponding to an SSID. If the number is reached, the wireless network rejects new conncon requests from clients. This limit helps balance load among APs.

Security Mode

A wireless network uses radio, which is open to the public, as its data transmission medium. If the wireless network is not protected by necessary measures, any client can connect to the network to use the resources of the network or access unprotected data over the network. To ensure communicaon security, transmission links of wireless networks must be encrypted for protecon.

The AP supports various security modes for network encrypon, including None, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA, and WPA2.

None

It indicates that any wireless client can connect to the wireless network. This opon is not recommended because it aects network security.

WEP

It uses a stac key to encrypt all exchanged data, and ensures that a wireless LAN has the same level of security as a wired LAN. Data encrypted based on WEP can be easily cracked. In addition, WEP supports a maximum wireless network throughput of only 54 Mbps. Therefore, this security mode is not recommended.

WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK

They belong to pre-shared key or personal key modes, where Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK supports both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK adopt a pre-shared key for authencaon, while the AP generates another key for data encrypon. This prevents the vulnerability caused by stac WEP keys, and makes the three security modes suitable for ensuring security of home wireless networks. Nevertheless, because the initial pre-shared key for authencaon is manually set and all clients use the same key to connect to the same AP, the key may be disclosed unexpectedly. This makes the security modes not suitable for scenarios where high security is required.

WPA and WPA2

To address the key management weakness of WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, the WiFi Alliance puts forward WPA and WPA2, which use 802.1x to authenticate clients and generate data encrypon-oriented root keys. WPA and WPA2 use the root keys to replace the pre-shared keys that set manually, but adopt the same encrypon process as WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

WPA and WPA2 uses 802.1x to authenticate clients and the login informaon of a client is managed by the client. This eecvely reduces the probability of informaon leakage. In addition, each me a client connects to an AP that adopts the WPA or WPA2 security mode, the RADIUS server generates a data encrypon key and assigns it to the client. This makes it dicult for aackers to obtain the key. These features of WPA and WPA2 help significantly increase network security, making WPA and WPA2 the preferred security modes of wireless networks that require high security.

7.1.2 Modifying SSID Sengs

To change the related sengs of an SSID, perform the following procedure:

Step 1 Choose Wireless Setng> SSID Sengs.

Step 2 Click the tab to choose the radio band to be set.

Step 3 Change the parameters as required. Generally, you only need to change the Enable, SSID, and Security Mode sengs.

7.3 Radio Opmizaon

7.3.1 Overview

Applicaon Scenarios

Generally, wireless networks are widely applied to the following two scenarios:

Ordinary scenario

For areas that demand wide WiFi coverage, such as oces, public buildings, schools, warehouses and hospitals.

■ High density scenario

For large crowded areas, such as:

– Conference halls, theaters, exhibition and banquet halls
- Indoor and open stadiums
– Classrooms at colleges and universities
– Airports and railway staons

Radio Opmizaon Parameters

To address the demands of both coverage-oriented and high-density scenarios, the AP provides a series of parameters for radio opmizaon, facilitang our customers to create qualified wireless network service.

Priorize 5 GHz

Although the 2.4 GHz band is more widely used than the 5 GHz band in actual wireless networks applicaon, channels and signals on 2.4 GHz suer more serious congeson and interference since there are only 3 non-overlapped communicaon channels on this band. The 5 GHz band could provide more non-overlapped communicaon channels. The quantity could reach more than 20 in some countries.

With the evolvement of the wireless networks, wireless clients that support both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are more popular. However, by default, such dual-band wireless clients choose the 2.4 GHz to connect, resulting in even worse congestion of the 2.4 GHz band and the waste of the 5 GHz band.

The priorize 5 GHz funcons enables such dual-band wireless clients to connect the 5 GHz band on network inializaon if the 5 GHz signal strength the AP received reaches or exceeds the 5 GHz threshold so as to improve the ulizaon of the 5 GHz band, reduce the load and interference on the 2.4 GHz band, thus beering user experience.

Parameter descripon

ParameterDescripon
Beacon IntervalUsed to set the interval at which this device sends Beacon frames.
Beacon frames are sent at the interval to announce the existence of a wireless network. Generally, a smaller interval allows wireless clients to connect to this device sooner, while a larger interval allows the wireless network to transmit data quicker.
Fragment ThresholdThreshold of a fragment.
Fragmening is a process that divides a frame into several fragments, which are transmied and acknowledged separately. If the size of a frame exceeds this threshold, the frame is fragmented.
In case of a high error rate, you can reduce the threshold to enable this device to resend only the fragments that have not been sent successfully, so as to increase the frame throughput.
In an environment with little interference, you can increase the threshold to reduce the number of frames, so as to increase the frame throughput.
RTS ThresholdFrame length threshold for triggering the RTS/CTS mechanism. The unit is byte.
If a frame exceeds this threshold, the RTS/CTS mechanism is triggered to reduce conicts.
Set the RTS threshold based on the actual situation. An excessively small value increases the RTS frame transmission frequency and bandwidth requirement. A higher RTS frame transmission frequency enables a wireless network to recover from conicts quicker. For a wireless network with high user density, you can reduce this threshold for reduce conicts.
The RTS mechanism requires some network bandwidth. Therefore, it is triggered only when frames exceed this threshold.
DTIM IntervalCountdown before this device transmits broadcast and mulcast frames in its cache. The unit is Beacon interval.
For example, if DTIM Interval is set to 1, this device transmits all cached frames at one Beaconinterval.
Minimum RSSI ThresholdMinimum strength of received signals acceptable to this device. If the strength of the signals transmied by a wireless device is weaker than this threshold, the wireless device cannot connect to this device.A proper value facilitates wireless devices to connect to the AP with stronger signal in case of mulple APs exist.
Priorize 5 GHzEnable: Dual band wireless devices prefer the 5 GHz WiFi network of the AP to connect.Disable: Dual band wireless devices connect to either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi network of the AP at random.
5 GHz ThresholdWith this funcon enabled, if the strength of the signals transmied by a wireless device is stronger than this threshold, the wireless device connects to the 5 GHz WiFi network. Otherwise, it connects to the 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
Air Interface SchedulingUsed to enable or disable the air interface scheduling funcon of the AP.This enables the users experiencing high download rates to download more data, so that this device can achieve higher system throughput and connect to a greater number of clients.
APSDAPSD: Automac Power Save Delivery. If it is enabled, the power consumpon of this device is reduced aer a specied period during which no trac is transmied or received. By default, it is disabled.
Client Timeout IntervalUsed to set the wireless client disconncon interval of this device. The device disconnects from a wireless client if no trac is transmied or received by the wireless client within the interval.
Mandatory RateIt species rates that wireless clients must support in order to connect to the wireless networks of this device.
Oponal RateIt species the additional rates that the AP supports, which are oponal to wireless clients.

7.4 WMM Sengs

7.4.1 Overview

802.11 networks oer wireless access services based on the Carrier Sense Mulple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) channel compeon mechanism, which allows all wireless clients to fairly compete for channels. All the services implemented over wireless networks share the same channel compeon parameters. Nevertheless, dierent services usually have dierent requirements for bandwidth, delay, and jier. This requires wireless networks to oer accessibility based on the services implemented over the networks.

WMM is a wireless QoS protocol used to ensure that packets with high priories are transmied rst. This ensures beer voice and video service experience over wireless networks.

WMM involves the following terms:

  • Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA): It is a channel compeon mechanism to ensure that packets with higher priories are assigned more bandwidth and transmied earlier.
  • Access Category (AC): The WMM mechanism divides WLAN traffic by priority in descending order into the AC-VO (voice stream), AC-VI (video stream), AC-BE (best eort), and AC-BK (background) access categories. The access categories use queues with different priorities to send packets. The WMM mechanism ensures that packets in queues with higher priorities have more opportunities to access channels.

According to the 802.11 protocol family, all devices listen on a channel before using the channel to send data. If the channel stays idle for or longer than a specied period, the devices wait a random backo period within the contenon window. The device whose backoff period expires rst can use the channel. The 802.11 protocol family applies the same backoff period and contenon window to all devices across a network to ensure that the devices have the same channel contenon opportunity.

EDCA Parameters

WMM changes the contenon mechanism of 802.11 networks by dividing packets into four ACs, among which the ACs with higher priories have more opportunities to access channels. The ACs help achieve different service levels.

WMM assigns each AC a set of EDCA parameters for channel contenon, including:

  • Arbitraon Inter Frame Spacing Number (AIFSN): Different from the xed distributed inter-frame spacing (DIFS) specied in the 802.11 protocol family, AIFSN varies across ACs. A greater AIFSN indicates a longer backo period. See AIFS in the following gure.
  • Contenon window minimum (CWmin) and contenon window maximum (CWmax) specify the average backo period. The period increases along with these two values. See the backo slots in the following gure.
  • Transmission Opportunity (TXOP): It species the maximum channel use duraon aer successful channel contenon. The duraon increases along with this value. The value 0 indicates that a device can send only one packet through a channel aer winning contenon for the channel.

ACK Policies

WMM species the Normal ACK and No ACK policies.

  • According to the No ACK policy, no ACK packet is used during wireless packet transmission to acknowledge packet reception. This policy is applicable to scenarios where interference is mild and can effectively improve transmission efficiency. In case of strong interference, lost packets will not be resent if this policy is adopted. This leads to a higher packet loss rate and reduces the overall performance.
    According to the Normal ACK policy, each me a receiver receives a packet, it sends back an ACK packet to acknowledge packet reception.

8 SNMP

8.1 Overview

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely used network management protocol in TCP/IP networks. SNMP enables you to remotely manage all your network devices compliant with this protocol, such as monitoring the network status, changing network device sengs, and receive network event alarms.

SNMP allows automac management of devices from various vendors regardless of physical dierences among the devices.

8.1.1 SNMP Management Framework

The SNMP management framework consists of SNMP manager, SNMP agent, and Management Information Base (MIB).

  • SNMP manager: It is a system that controls and monitors network nodes using the SNMP protocol. The SNMP manager most widely used in network environments is Network Management System (NMS). An NMS can be a dedicated network management server, or an applicaon that implements management funcons in a network device.
    – SNMP agent: It is a soware module in a managed device. The module is used to manage data about the device and report the management data to an SNMP manager.
  • MIB: It is a collecon of managed objects. It denes a series of aributes of managed objects, including names, access permissions, and data types of objects. Each SNMP agent has its MIB. An SNMP manager can read and/or write objects in the MIB based on the permissions assigned to the SNMP manager.

An SNMP manager manages SNMP agents in an SNMP network. The SNMP manager exchanges management informaon with the SNMP agents using the SNMP protocol.

8.1.2 Basic SNMP Operaons

The AP allows the following basic SNMP operaons:

  • Get: An SNMP manager performs this operation to query the SNMP agent of the AP for values of one or more objects.
  • Set: An SNMP manager performs this operation to set values of one or more objects in the MIB of the SNMP agent of the AP.

8.1.3 SNMP Protocol Version

The AP is compatible with SNMP V1 and SNMP V2C and adopts the community authencaon mechanism. Community name is used to denote the relationship between an SNMP agent and an SNMP manager. If the community name contained in an SNMP packet is rejected by a device, the packet is discarded. A community name funcons as a password to control SNMP agent access aempts of SNMP managers.

SNMP V2C is compatible with SNMP V1 and provides more funcons than SNMP V1. Compared with SNMP V1, SNMP V2C supports more operaons (GetBulk and InformRequest) and data types (such as Counter64), and provides more error codes for beer disguishing errors.

8.1.4 MIB Introducon

An MIB adopts a tree structure. The nodes of the tree indicate managed objects. A path consists of digits and stars from the root can be used to uniquely identify a node. This path is calling an object idener (OID). The following gure shows the structure of an MIB. In the gure, the OID of A is 1.3.6.1.2.1.1, whereas the OID of B is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.

9.9.1 Overview

In AP mode, the AP connects to its upstream network using the LAN0 port. If a critical node between the LAN0 port and the upstream network fails, the AP as well as the wireless clients connected to the AP cannot access the upstream network. If uplink check is enabled, the AP regularly pings specied hosts through the LAN0 port. If all the hosts are not reachable, the AP stops its wireless service and wireless clients cannot nd the SSIDs of the AP. The client can reconnect to the AP only aer the conncon between the AP and the upstream networks is recovered.

If the uplink of the AP with uplink check enabled is faulty, wireless clients can connect to the upstream network through another nearby AP that works properly.

See the following topology (The LAN0 port serves as the uplink port).

Appendixes

A.1 FAQ

Q1: The LED indicators are o, what should I do?

A1. Try the following soluons:

  • Verify the AP's rear port is connected to a PoE port (compliant with IEEE 802.3af) of the PoE switch properly.
    – Ensure the Ethernet cable used to connect the AP and PoE switch is an eight-core Ethernet cable.

Q2: I cannot access the web UI of the AP. What should I do?

A2. Check the following items:

  • Verify that the IP address of your computer is in the same segment as the AP's IP address. If the IP address of the AP is 192.168.0.254, the IP address of the computer should be set as 192.168.0.X (X: 2-253). Ensure the IP address of the AP (it is 192.168.0.254 by default) is entered in the browser address bar (not search bar).
  • If two or more APs are connected to your network without a Tenda AP controller (including a router equipped with the AP controller funconality). Change the IP address of each AP during conguration to avoid IP conict. Otherwise, you can't access to the web UI of other APs. The AP may be being managed by an AP controller and therefore its IP address is no longer 192.168.0.254. In that case, log in to the web UI of the AP controller to view the new IP address of the AP, and log in to the AP using the new IP address.

If the problem persists, restore the factory sengs of the AP and try login again.

Q3 : How to reset the AP?

A3. Aer the AP is powered on, use a pin to hold down the reset buon for 8 seconds and release it until the green LED indicator turns solid on.

The AP is restored to factory sengs when the green LED indicator (SYS indicator) blinks again.

Q4: My wireless devices, such as smart phones, cannot access the internet via the AP aer conguraon. What should I do?

A4. Try the following soluons:

– Ensure that your wireless devices connect to the wireless network of the AP.
– Verify the router connected to the AP can access to the internet successfully.
