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. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum.[...]

Using the Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your TEW-691GR, you can access the Configuration Menu th rough your PC by opening the Web-browser and typing in th e IP Address of the TEW-691GR. The TEW-691GR’s default IP Address is http://192.168.10.1 ¾ Open the Web browser. ¾ Type in the IP Address of the Router ( http://192.168.10[...]

Network WAN SETTING WAN Connection Type There are several connection types to choose fr om: 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 ente[...]

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[...]

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 br eak 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 c[...]

LAN SETTING IP Address The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP ad dress 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 Protoc ol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in D[...]

Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the D HCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other d evices 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 t[...]

When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless perfor mance can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at [...]

Advanced DMZ 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 destinat ion for all incoming packets that do not match some other incoming[...]
