TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-750DAP Basic Access Point Setup Expanding a Home Network What is a network? 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. A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a printer, a modem, and a router.
TEW-815DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide Basic Installation 1. Connect the power adapter to the access point and then to a power outlet. Connect your computer to one of the access point’s LAN port. Push the ON/OFF (EU version) switch on the TEW-815DAP to power up the access point. 5. The Wizard will start. Click Next to begin. 2. Assign a static IP address to your computer’s network adapter in the subnet of 192.168.10.x (ex. 192.168.10.25) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP 7. For added security, we have pre-encrypted each TEW-815DAP with a unique Wi-Fi Name (SSID) and Wi-Fi Key. You can find these pre-configured settings on the labels at the side and bottom of the TEW-815DAP. You will use this information to connect wirelessly to the access point. To change the Wi-Fi key, please refer to Secure your Wireless Network on page 11. If the access point is reset, the Wi-Fi Key and Wi-Fi Name will also reset to factory defaults click Next. 8.

TEW-815DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide Multiple SSID Wireless > Basic The multiple SSID feature allows you to broadcast up to 3 additional SSIDs (or wireless network names) per band (2.4GHz and 5GHz). When wireless devices are searching for available wireless networks to connect to, the SSIDs (or wireless network names) will appear as separate and different wireless networks.
TEW-815DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide 20/40MHz (Auto) (Options: 20MHz or 20/40MHz (Auto)). It is recommended to use the default channel bandwidth settings. Note: Please note that this setting may provide more stability than the higher channel bandwidth settings such as 20/40MHz (Auto) for connectivity in busy wireless environments where there are several wireless networks in the area. o 20 MHz: This mode operates using a single 20MHz channel for wireless devices connecting at 802.11n on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. • Short Preamble: Using a short guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. • Xpress™ Technology: A frame bursting technology used to improve wireless performance.
TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP Wireless Bridge (WDS) Wireless bridging using WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the device to create a wireless bridge with other WDS supported wireless routers and access points configured in WDS mode to bridge groups of network devices together wirelessly. Network enabled devices can be plugged into the Ethernet LAN port. WDS is subset option of Access Point mode.

TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP Planning for Wireless Bridging (WDS) Note: By default, the device is set to function in access point mode. WDS is a subset option of Access Point Mode. You must set your access point device mode to operate in Access Point first in order to configure WDS. Please ensure the Device Mode is set to Access Point under Main > Device Mode. Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following items first: 1. Choose which band to use for bridging (2.4GHz or 5GHz).
TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP The diagram below illustrates an example of the parameters configured when planning for WDS bridging. Each WDS supported access point is configured with a different IP address (blue) to prevent IP address conflict. The “wired router” is the only single DHCP server (gray) providing automatic IP address assignment for all client devices in the network.
TEW-815DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide Creating a Wireless Bridge (WDS) AP1 Configuration Wireless > Basic Note: Since wireless bridge (WDS) is a subset of Access Point mode, please make sure that Access Point mode is selected under Main > Device Mode for all access points. See page 13 “Set your device to access point mode.” This procedure can apply for both WDS and WDS+AP modes. To configure a wireless bridge (WDS) between two TEW-815DAP access points: 1.
TEW-815DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide 5. Click the Wireless Channel drop-down list and select a specific wireless channel.(ex. 2.462GHz - CH 11) AP2 Configuration 6. Under the WDS section, next to Remote AP MAC Address1, enter the wireless MAC address of the remote WDS supported access point or router. Note: Based on the example, enter the remote 2.4GHz wireless MAC address of AP2.
TEW-815DAP TRENDnet User’s Guide 4. Next to Wireless Network Name, enter the wireless network name (SSID). Bridging additional WDS supported devices Note: For this example, the wireless network name (SSID) is required to match the wireless network name (SSID) configured on AP1. For a point-to-multipoint (hub and spoke) WDS configuration, the AP2 (spoke) configuration procedure in the previous section “Creating a Wireless Bridge” page 24 can be used when creating additional WDS bridges to AP1 (hub).
TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP Additional WDS Options The TEW-815DAP access point provides 2 methods to simplify the entering the remote wireless MAC addresses when configuring WDS mode. Lazy WDS Wireless > Basic > WDS This option simplifies the configuration of MAC address in WDS by only requiring one side of a WDS bridge to add remote wireless MAC addresses. For example, if the wireless MAC address of AP2 has been added to AP1, the wireless MAC address of AP1 does not need to be added to AP2.
TRENDnet User’s Guide TEW-815DAP Wireless Range Extender (AP Repeater) Wireless range extender or repeater mode allows the device to extend the range of an existing wireless network. The existing wireless signal can be broadcasted from your wireless router or other access point. In addition, other network enabled devices can connect to your network using the Ethernet LAN port.
