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. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such
as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz
frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be
in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base station as
far away as possible from your wireless devices.
The access point is installed near the router and physically connected to it from one of
the LAN port of the router which connects to the Internet. Wireless signals from the
router are broadcasted to wireless clients such as laptops (with wireless capability)
thereby providing Internet access.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices
or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide
the necessary coverage depending on the environment.

What is a network?
on page 14.
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
How to setup your router
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.

Provider).
• Router – Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
available from this Web page)
• Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to set up a home network
1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:
• Computers/devices with an Ethernet port (also called network port) or wireless
networking capabilities.
• A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem
typically supplied by your ISP).
• A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.

Wireless Networking and Security
• 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.
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 router.
• WPA-Auto: This setting provides the router 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
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.).
• 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 router to this encryption
standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support
WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto encryption.
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 router to WEP to allow the old
adapters to connect to the router.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported.
Note: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps.

When applying the 802.11 mode setting, please keep in mind the following:
• Wireless devices that support 802.11n are backwards compatible and can connect
wirelessly at 802.11g or 802.11b.
Note: Setting this option to Disabled, will disable WPS functionality.
• Connecting at 802.11b or 802.11g will limit the capability of your 802.11n
supported wireless devices from obtaining higher performance and data rates.
• Allowing 802.11b or 802.11g devices to connect to an 802.11n capable wireless
network may degrade the wireless network performance below the higher
performance and data rates of 802.11n.
• Frequency (Channel): To manually set the channel on which the router will
broadcast, uncheck Auto Channel, then click the drop-down list and select the
desired Channel for wireless communication. The goal is to select the Channel that
is least used by neighboring wireless networks.
• Wireless devices that only support 802.11b or 802.11g will not be able to connect
to a wireless network that is set to 802.11n only mode.
• Wireless devices that only support 802.11b will not be able to connect to a wireless
network that is set to 802.11g only mode.
• WDS: This acronym stands for Wireless Distribution System and when enabled it
creates a wireless bridge connection between your wireless router and an access
point that supports WDS.
o AP MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the access point you would like the
router to WDS to. You will also have to enter the MAC address of the router into
the access point to establish the WDS or bridge connection. This wireless router
supports up to 3 WDS connections.
• Wireless Name (SSID): This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the
name of your wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from others
around you. By default, the router broadcast TRENDnet691 as the wireless network
name. If you choose to change the SSID, change it to a name that you can easily
remember.
• Channel Width: This setting only applies to wireless devices connecting at 802.11n.
Select the appropriate channel width for your wireless network.
o 20 MHz – This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless
devices connecting at 802.11n. This setting may provide more stability
• Multiple SSID: This router support additional SSID, you can set an additional of 3
SSSID for your wireless network.

than Auto 20/40 MHz for connectivity in busy wireless environments
where there are several wireless networks in the area.
Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
o Auto 20/40 MHz – This mode can automatically switch between using a
single 20MHz channel or 40MHz (two 20MHz channels). When 40MHz is
active, this mode is capable of providing higher performance only if the
wireless devices support the 40MHz channel width. Enabling 20/40MHz
typically results in substantial performance increases when connecting
to an 802.11n client.
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 router near the center of your home,
and near the ceiling, if possible.
b.Avoid placing the router 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 router and the wireless device, the better.
d.Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and
fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so if your
wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal
strength to determine the ideal position.
• Guard Interval: The purpose of the guard interval is to introduce immunity
propagation delays, echoes and reflections to which digital data is normally
sensitive to
o Long: Guard interval of 800nsec.
o Auto: Router automatically set the interval
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.
• MCS: Modulation and Coding Scheme is the value that determines the modulation,
coding number of spatial channels.
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.
• Extension Channel: Extension channel is used when Channel Bandwidth is set to
“Auto 20/40MHz” and the channel being used is statically assigned. This allows you
to statically assign the extended channel to use in 40MHz.
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.

default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result
in poor performance.
• RTS 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.
Advanced wireless settings
Wireless > Advanced
These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced
wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to
their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these
values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
Default Value: 2346 (range: 256-2346)
• TX Burst: Allows the wireless Router to deliver better throughput in the same
period and environment in order to increase speed.
• Short Preamble: Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput.
However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased
sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for
your installation.
• Multicast-to-Unicast: Some applications require multicast communication (also
called IP multicast which is the delivery of information to a specific group of
computers or devices in a single transmission) typically used in media streaming
applications. Enable this feature when using application that requires multicast
traffic.
• Beacon Interval: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that
transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information
about the router’s wireless network. The interval is the amount time between
each beacon transmission.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
Wireless > Basic
Default Value:100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000)
• DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening
to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router 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.
• Fragment 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. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is
greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its
WDS or Wireless Distribution System allows your router to establish a wireless bridge
connection to another access point. To use this feature the access point you want to
connect has to also support WDS mode.

registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a
new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered
MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC
address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the
modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and
manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.

o Autoconfiguration Type: Set up IPv6 Autoconfiguration in this section in order to
have IPv6 addresses assigned to the clients on the local area network. The
options are Stateless Auto, Stateless DHCPv6, DHCPv6 (Stateful). Stateless Auto:
When connected to an IPv6 network utilizing ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message
Protocol version 6) router discovery messages, IPv6 hosts will be configured
automatically. Stateless DHCPv6: A stateless DHCP server will only provide
configuration information to the nodes and will rely on ICMPv6 (Internet Control
Message Protocol version 6) router discovery messages to assign IPv6 addresses.
DHCPv6(Stateful): Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6. Stateless
address autoconfiguration for IPv6 can be used to acquire access in an IPv6
network, however, it is generally recommended to use DHCPv6 instead to assign
addresses, name servers and other configuration information to the clients.

DMZ
Advanced > DMZ
• Start/End Time: Select the start and end time you would like the schedule to
follow.
You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network to the Internet
to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature
that makes all the ports and services available on the WAN/Internet side of the router
and forwards them to a single IP address (computer or network device) on your
network. The DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet however,
it is a very insecure technology and will open local area network to greater threats from
Internet attacks.

It is strongly recommended to use Virtual Server (also called port forwarding, see
the Internet.
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.
1. Make the computer or network device (for which you are establishing a DMZ link) has
a static IP address (or you can use the DHCP reservation feature to ensure the device

Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or
required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer
or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ
used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera
(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on
your network to be able to view it over the Internet. To open several ports please refer
192.168.10.101).
• Protocol: Select the protocol required for your device. TCP, UDP, or you can
select Both to choose both TCP & UDP (recommended).
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and
protocols are required. You should assign a static IP address to the device or
use DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.
• Public Port: Enter the port number used to access the device from the Internet.
• Private Port: Enter the port number required by your device. Refer to the
connecting device’s documentation for reference to the network port(s) required.

Special Applications
Advanced > Special Application
Special applications (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming
applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several
ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a
device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will
forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on
your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently
use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow
