2. Introduction
The TEW-647GA Wireless N Gaming Adapter is an high-performance, supports high-speed
wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. This bridge is also back compatible
with 802.11g or 11b devices. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to
maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 11n’s speed when you mix 11n and 11b/g
devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 11n standard
into your 11b/g network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing
the 11b/g devices with 11n devices.
2.1. Features
• Wi‐Fi compliant with IEEE 802.11n standard
• Backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b devices
• Connects network‐ready game consoles including Nintendo Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360,
PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 to a high speed wireless n network
• Supports online gaming and head‐to‐head play
• Supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology
• Easy setup with Wi‐Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature
• Maximum reliability, throughput and connectivity with automatic data rate
switching
• Supports 64/128‐bit WEP, WPA/WPA2 and WPA‐PSK/WPA2‐PSK
• Low interference and high susceptibility optimize performance
• Easy user setup wizard and intuitive Web browser configuration
• Coverage of up to 50 meters indoor, 100 meters outdoor *

3.3 Installation Considerations
The TEW-647GA Gaming Adapter allows you to access your network by using a wireless
connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind that the
number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless
signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the
types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TEW-647GA and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless product’s range
from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or
ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5
meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a
2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.
3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum
studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and
computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways and not other materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate extreme RF noise.

wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users.
None
No encryption.
WEP (Open or Shared)
A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of
privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP
network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using
WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key
length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. 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

or TKIP type) in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both
ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper
security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase
is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.
