Getting Started Congratulations on purchasing the TEW-639GR! This manual provides information for setting up and configuring the TEW-639GR. This manual is intended for both home users and professionals. PACKAGE CONTENTS TEW-639GR 2.4GHz 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router CD-ROM (User’s Guide) ...
Introduction The TEW-639GR 2.4GHz 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router is an high-performance, wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most routers, the TEW-639GR provides data transfers at up to 300Mbps when using 11n connection. This router is also back compatible with 802.11g or 11b devices.
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.
Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-639GR, you can access the Configuration Menu through your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the TEW-639GR. The TEW-639GR’s default IP Address is http://192.168.10.1 •...
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.
router's MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer. t modes. MAC Address Clone: Each networking device has it's own unique MAC address defined by the hardware manufacturer.
Page 13
DHCP IP Address Range: These two IP values (Start and End) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically.
QoS (Quality-of-Service): QoS involves prioritization of network traffic. QoS can be targeted at a network interface, toward a given server or router's performance, or in terms of specific applications. DHCP CLIENT LIST In this section you can see the connected LAN devices are currently receiving an IP addresses.
Wireless BASIC Wireless Mode: If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate wireless mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate wireless mode.

for wireless b, 54Mbps for wireless g and up to 300Mbps* for wireless n and share access at the same time. Although the wireless b/g/n operates in the same 2.4GHz frequency, it will allow the use of other 2.4GHz client devices (Wireless b/g/n) to connect and access at the same time. Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications.
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. Fragmentation Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage.
WLAN Partition: When this option is enabled, there is barrier between communications among wireless stations connecting to this device. STBC: Space Time Block Coding that is a transmitter diversity technique of spreading the transmit signal over multiple antennas to improve reception. Channel BandWidth: Set channel width of wireless radio.
SECURITY Security Mode: Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users. WEP: A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network.
WPA-Enterprise: This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users.
STATION LIST All the wireless clients connecting to the router will be shown here, you could monitor your network and prevent any unauthorized wireless connection easily. 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.
Packets received by the DMZ host have their IP addresses translated from the WAN-side IP address of the router to the LAN-side IP address of the DMZ host. However, port numbers are not translated; so applications on the DMZ host can depend on specific port numbers. The DMZ capability is just one of several means for allowing incoming requests that might appear unsolicited to the NAT.
Protocol: Select the protocol used by the service. The common choices -- UDP, TCP, and both UDP and TCP -- can be selected from the drop-down menu. To specify any other protocol, select "Other" from the list, then enter the corresponding protocol number (as assigned by the IANA) in the Protocol box.
ACCESS CONTROL Enable: By default, the Access Control feature is disabled. If you need Access Control, check this option. Note: When Access Control is disabled, every device on the LAN has unrestricted access to the Internet. However, if you enable Access Control, Internet access is restricted for those devices that have an Access Control Policy configured for them.
ALG (Application level gateway): It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data" protocols such as FTP, SIP, RTSP, file transfer in IM applications etc. In order for these protocols to work through NAT or a firewall, either the application has to know about an address/port number combination that allows incoming packets, or the NAT has to monitor the control traffic and open up port mappings (firewall pinhole) dynamically as required.
GAMING Add/Edit Port Range Rule: Use this section to add a Port Range Rule to the following list or to edit a rule already in the list. Rule Enable: Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive. Rule Name: Give the rule a name that is meaningful to you, for example Game Server. You can also select from a list of popular games, and many of the remaining configuration values will be filled in accordingly.
INBOUND FILTER Add/Edit Inbound Filter Rule: Here you can add entries to the Inbound Filter Rules List below, or edit existing entries. Name: Enter a name for the rule that is meaningful to you. Action: The rule can either Allow or Deny messages. Remote IP Range: Define the ranges of Internet addresses this rule applies to.
SCHEDULE Add/Edit Schedule Rule: In this section you can add entries to the Schedule Rules List below or edit existing entries. Name: Give the schedule a name that is meaningful to you, such as "Weekday rule". Day(s): Place a checkmark in the boxes for the desired days or select the All Week radio button to select all seven days of the week.
ADVANCE NETWORK UPNP: UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play that is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. UPnP-enabled Router will only work with other UPnP devices/software. If user does not want to use the UPnP functionality, select “Disabled”...
Administrator WIZARD Follow “Internet Connection Setup Wizard” or “Wireless Security Setup Wizard” to get your Internet connection up and running. MANAGEMENT...
Admin Password: Enter a password for the user "admin", who will have full access to the Web-based management interface. Device Name: The name of the router can be changed here. Enable Dynamic DNS: Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a dynamic DNS service provider.
SETTING MANAGEMENT Export Settings: This option allows you to export and then save the router's configuration to a file on your computer. Be sure to save the configuration before performing a firmware upgrade. Import Settings: Use this option to restore previously saved router configuration settings. Load Factory Defaults: This option restores all configuration settings back to the settings that were in effect at the time the router was shipped from the factory.
Enable NTP Server: Select this option if you want to synchronize the router's clock to a Network Time Server over the Internet. If you are using schedules or logs, this is the best way to ensure that the schedules and logs are kept accurate. Note that, even when NTP Server is enabled, you must still choose a time zone and set the daylight saving parameters.
