  • Page 8: Wireless Performance Considerations

    WIRELESS PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS There are a number of 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.

  • Page 9: Using The Configuration Menu

    Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-691GR, you can access the Configuration Menu through your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the TEW-691GR. The TEW-691GR’s default IP Address is http://192.168.10.1 Open the Web browser.

  • Page 10: Network

    Network WAN SETTING WAN Connection Type There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider. Static Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is manually entered in your IP configuration settings.
  • Page 11 Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes. L2TP L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
  • Page 12 The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection.

    LAN SETTING IP Address The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
  • Page 14 Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP"...

    ADVANCED Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. DTIM A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

    Select the option that works best for your installation. TX Burst Allows the wireless Router to deliver better throughput in the same period and environment in order to increase speed. Pkt_Aggregate Increase efficiency by aggregating multiple packets of application data into a single transmission frame.

Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember.

    MAC Address Enter the MAC address of a computer that you want to control with MAC filtering. Computers that have obtained an IP address from the router's DHCP server will be in the DHCP Client List. Select a device from the drop down menu. The rule of thumb:In mixed mode, multicast key has to be TKIP, but unicast key can be different per stations.In WPA or WPA2 only mode, unicast and multicast key can be only AES for WPA2, and TKIP for WPA.

    Advanced DMZ Setting DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. When a LAN host is configured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incoming packets that do not match some other incoming session or rule.

  • Page 24: Virtual Server

    ‧ To handle incoming connections that use a protocol other than ICMP, TCP, UDP, and IGMP (also GRE and ESP, when these protocols are enabled by the PPTP and IPSec Enable DMZ Putting a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort.
